Please any one help me in this

Answer 1

if your proguard.txt shows :

-keepclassmembers class * { *** @drawable/gradient_activ_button(...); }

or :

-keepclassmembers class * { *** @string/onClickXXX(...); }

Check your layout file, and replace:

android:onClick="@string/onClickXXX"

with

android:onClick="real Name of onClickEvent Handler"

Refer name of event handler directly. Proguard cannot resolve resource name.

Answer 2

The error

Expecting class member name before '@' in line 162 of file 'D:\Android\Workspace.gopal\LoginActivity\bin\proguard.txt'

suggests that something is wrong on line 162 of the automatically generated file bin/proguard.txt. You may want to check if your version of the SDK is up to date.
