android netty jar,Proguard and Netty 5 on Android

I've seen a couple questions regarding this issue, but they are for older versions of Netty.

I have tried their answers, switching org.jboss.netty out with io.netty, but the same error occurs.

I'm trying to compile an Android app that uses Netty 5.0.0Alpha2 (build #16) with Proguard enabled.

Without Proguard, the app runs fine.

As soon as I enable Proguard, I get this exception when it tries to use Netty:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: unknown type parameter 'I': class io.netty.channel.SimpleChannelInboundHandler

at io.netty.util.internal.TypeParameterMatcher.find0(Unknown Source)

at io.netty.util.internal.TypeParameterMatcher.find(Unknown Source)

at io.netty.channel.SimpleChannelInboundHandler.(Unknown Source)

at io.netty.channel.SimpleChannelInboundHandler.(Unknown Source)

...

This is my Proguard config:

# billing

-keep class com.android.vending.billing.**

# butterknife

-dontwarn butterknife.internal.**

-keep class **$$ViewInjector {

*;

}

-keepnames class * {

@butterknife.InjectView *;

}

# admob

-keep public class com.google.android.gms.ads.** {

public *;

}

-keep public class com.google.ads.** {

public *;

}

# logging

-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log

# netty (partial)

-dontwarn io.netty.**

-dontwarn sun.**

I have tested it without the -dontwarn options to see if the warnings would point me in the right direction, but it's all missing optional dependencies like slf4j and Tomcat.

I have also tried excluding all the Netty classes like so:

-keep class io.netty.** {

*;

}

...but that does not appear to fix it either.
