java - Android ProGuard - only obfuscation

Question

Is it possible to use ProGuard for only obfuscation. I don't want ProGuard to remove any classes from my projects. My intention to use ProGuard is only for obfuscation so as to prevent reverse engineering.

Answer 1

Yes, by specifying

-dontshrink
-dontoptimize

You can find details on all configuration options in the ProGuard manual.

Note that shrinking and optimization may help preventing reverse engineering a bit.
