No proguard-rules.pro file in Android Studio 1.0.1

My android studio project doesn't have a proguard-rules.pro file.

What do I do from here? Is it called something else now or do I need to create my own?

If you switch from "Project" to "Production" (right above your app name on the tree on the left side) you can find the proguard-rules.pro file under the section app/app/.

Ya, already figured it out... just changed the file view in Android Studio. But this is the closest answer to what I did so I'll give this to ya. Thanks!

I'm not sure about that file inparticular, however, in that version of android studio progruard was renamed to 'minifyEnabled.' My build.gradle (just a snip) looks like this:

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

Ok! But how do I edit the minify Enabled file? I can't find it anywhere.

Ah, slept on it and figured it out right away. Not sure why it doesn't show up in the project directory for the latest Android release, but if you reveal the app folder in finder it's in that folder. just open the file with whatever text program you have on your computer.
