How can I disable renaming names of fragments classes during obfuscation?

Question

Which ProGuard/R8 rules to use?

Currently only Activites aren't renamed

I need to keep names of Fragment for screens logging as well but the code itself in fragments should be obfuscated

Answer 1

You can say proguard to keep names for all classes that extend androidx.fragment.app.Fragment (or another base Fragment class that you use)

-keepnames class * extends androidx.fragment.app.Fragment

Answer 2

I would highly suggest you to read this documentation: https://www.guardsquare.com/manual/configuration/usage#keepoptions

Also use the -keepnames option in your proguard.cfg

I'll give you an example:

-keepnames class_specification

You could also use this in order to avoid obuscation of any class name:

-keepnames class ** { *; }

Answer 3

Simply add proguardrules to keep your directory which contains all the fragments so write below proguardrules:

-keep public class com.your_app_name.app.view.fragments.** {*;}

Ex: My package name is com.tdscalculator.app and all my fragments are inside com -> tdscalculator -> app -> view -> fragments so for this example I have written above proguardrule so modify this rule accordingly.

If you want to keep fragments of different directories then mention all fragments using below proguardrules:

-keepnames class  com.your_app_name.app.view.fragments.HomeFragment{}
