1.在需要混淆的工程目录下(package/apps/下的工程)添加proguard.flags文件，该文件即为网络传说中的proguard.cfg，只是命名不一样而已，然后再Android.mk中添加如下两句：
LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED := full
LOCAL_PROGUARD_FLAG_FILES := proguard.flags
上面的full 也可以是custom，如果不写这句，那还得添加如下一句：
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT := user或者TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT := userdebug
这样后在工程目录下执行mm便可以看到在out/target/common/obj/APPS/目录下生成了形如proguard.classes.jar的东东，这就说明已在编译中启动了proguard
但反编译一看，并未出现网络云说的abcd替代符号，其实代码并未真正混淆：
android在编译时默认关闭了混淆选项，有去研究build/core目录的同志会发现这里也有个proguard.flags文件，其实在 proguard的过程中，编译器会调用包括本地目录下和系统定义了的多个proguard.flags文件，而在这个文件中混淆的选项被禁止了，故而编 译出来的apk仍未混淆。因此将如下句子注释掉便可实现真正的混淆编译：
# Don't obfuscate. We only need dead code striping.
-dontobfuscate（将该句加个#号注释掉）
2.proguard.flags的源码如下：
-optimizationpasses 5
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify
-verbose
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*
-keep public class * extends Android.app.Activity
-keep public class * extends android.app.Application
-keep public class * extends android.app.Service
-keep public class * extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver
-keep public class * extends android.content.ContentProvider
-keep public class * extends android.app.backup.BackupAgentHelper
-keep public class * extends android.preference.Preference
-keep public class com.android.vending.licensing.ILicensingService
-keepclasseswithmembernames class * {
native <methods>;
}
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet);
}
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
public <init>(android.content.Context, android.util.AttributeSet, int);
}
-keepclassmembers class * extends android.app.Activity {
public void *(android.view.View);
}
-keepclassmembers enum * {
public static **[] values();
public static ** valueOf(java.lang.String);
}
-keep class * implements android.os.Parcelable {
public static final android.os.Parcelable$Creator *;
}
3 。好奇的同志还可以继续看看，为什么TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT := user和LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED := full二选一即可，详见build/core/package.mk:
LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED:=$(strip $(LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED))
ifndef LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED
ifneq ($(filter user userdebug, $(TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT)),)
# turn on Proguard by default for user & userdebug build
LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED :=full
endif
endif
ifeq ($(LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED),disabled)
# the package explicitly request to disable proguard.
LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED :=
endif
proguard_options_file :=
ifneq ($(LOCAL_PROGUARD_ENABLED),custom)
ifneq ($(all_resources),)
proguard_options_file := $(package_expected_intermediates_COMMON)/proguard_options
endif # all_resources
endif # !custom
LOCAL_PROGUARD_FLAGS := $(addprefix -include ,$(proguard_options_file)) $(LOCAL_PROGUARD_FLAGS)
