android - How to config my proguard-project.txt file to remove just Logs

Question

This is the code i am using right now in the proguard-project.txt

# This is a configuration file for ProGuard.
# http://proguard.sourceforge.net/index.html#manual/usage.html

-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-verbose

# Optimization is turned off by default. Dex does not like code run
# through the ProGuard optimize and preverify steps (and performs some
# of these optimizations on its own).
-dontoptimize
-dontpreverify
# Note that if you want to enable optimization, you cannot just
# include optimization flags in your own project configuration file;
# instead you will need to point to the
# "proguard-android-optimize.txt" file instead of this one from your
# project.properties file.

-keepattributes *Annotation*

# For native methods, see http://proguard.sourceforge.net/manual/examples.html#native
-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
    native <methods>;
}

# keep setters in Views so that animations can still work.
# see http://proguard.sourceforge.net/manual/examples.html#beans
-keepclassmembers public class * extends android.view.View {
   void set*(***);
   *** get*();
}

# We want to keep methods in Activity that could be used in the XML attribute onClick
-keepclassmembers class * extends android.app.Activity {
   public void *(android.view.View);
}

# For enumeration classes, see http://proguard.sourceforge.net/manual/examples.html#enumerations
-keepclassmembers enum * {
    public static **[] values();
    public static ** valueOf(java.lang.String);
}

-keep class * implements android.os.Parcelable {
  public static final android.os.Parcelable$Creator *;
}

-keepclassmembers class **.R$* {
    public static <fields>;
}

# The support library contains references to newer platform versions.
# Don't warn about those in case this app is linking against an older
# platform version.  We know about them, and they are safe.
-dontwarn android.support.**
-dontwarn org.apache.**

But the Logs are still appearing in the logcat.

So, i just want to know, what the code must be, so that only Logs are removed. other optimizations are not required.

Thank You

The ProGuard configuration file is split into several parts (as of Android SDK r20), which are specified in project.properties:

  proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt

You can only remove logging if optimization is not disabled, which requires a different global configuration file:

  proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android-optimize.txt:proguard-project.txt

The file proguard-project.txt only needs to contain project-specific configuration. Your file seems to contain way too much, but these are the setttings to remove the logging:

-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
    public static boolean isLoggable(java.lang.String, int);
    public static int v(...);
    public static int i(...);
    public static int w(...);
    public static int d(...);
    public static int e(...);
}
