[android-developers] Re: Compiling and obfuscating by command line...

Pointing out the pitfalls of obfuscation is NOT "moving the thread off
topic". For in order for you to understand the answer to your
immediate question, "has anyone had success" at it, you have to
understand what 'success' could MEAN in the context. And DanH has been
quite generous with exactly the background to understanding how
limited that success will be.
