Android Proguard : Is minifyEnabled true automatically setting obfuscation to true?

Question

I'm trying to test the App, but I'm wondering which option actually enables obfuscation.

if minifyEnabled is false, will the files still be obfuscated?

buildTypes {
        debug {
          //  minifyEnabled true
            useProguard true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
                    'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        release {
           // minifyEnabled true
           // shrinkResources true
            useProguard true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro',
                    'proguard-fresco.pro.txt'

        }
    }

No, proguard is deactivated when the minifyEnabled is set to false. You can turn obfuscation on/off in proguard-rules.pro. — tahsinRupam, Jan 25 '17 at 06:19

To enable proguard or shrink your code set minifyEnabled to true

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

read the documentation at https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code.html
