android proguard android-support-library

I'm using the v7 Support Library to show an ActionBar on Android 2.x. It works well enough but I had to fix a few class/method not found errors after enabling Proguard.

Are there any guidelines on which classes need to be preserved?

So far I have these:

-keep public class android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActionBarContainer
-keep class android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActionBarView$HomeView
-keep public class android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActionBarContextView

It seems to work now but I'm not that confident that it won't crash at some stage because of some other supposedly internal class referenced in some XML file.

I solved it with:

-dontwarn android.support.v7.**
-keep class android.support.v7.** { *; }
-keep interface android.support.v7.** { *; }
