Android + Proguard + Apache POI

Question

Someone was able to get the Apache POI library to work after obfuscation. I read a lot of information, tried different methods, but still get the error:

a.a.b.a: Provider com.bea.xml.stream.EventFactory not found
org.apache.poi.openxml4j.opc.internal.marshallers.PackagePropertiesMarshaller.<clinit>(Unknown Source)

at org.apache.poi.xssf.streaming.SXSSFWorkbook.<init>(Unknown Source)

I added the jars files into libs folder: poi-ooxml-schemas-3.12-20150511-a.jar and poi-3.12-android-a.jar.

Necessary System-Properties

In order to work around problems with finding a suitable XML Parser, currently the following system properties need to be set manually during startup of your application (let me know if you know of a better way to do this, see issue #10)

From me : Just put those lines in your code before using the library

System.setProperty("org.apache.poi.javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory", "com.fasterxml.aalto.stax.InputFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("org.apache.poi.javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory", "com.fasterxml.aalto.stax.OutputFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("org.apache.poi.javax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory", "com.fasterxml.aalto.stax.EventFactoryImpl");

Download the library

If you want to get started quickly, there is a ready-made jar-file available here https://github.com/centic9/poi-on-android/releases

You should be able to simply add this to your Android project and use the Apache POI classes from it.

Old answer (does not work on Android if ProGuard is enabled)

If you use HSSF

( .xls => Excel '97(-2007) file format) It was not easy but I succeeded. Simply set this dependency to Apache POI (ONLY, remove the libraries add previously ex : poi-ooxml-schemas-3.12-20150511-a.jar and poi-3.12-android-a.jar) :

compile group: 'org.apache.poi', name: 'poi', version: '3.16'

For the latest version see here : https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi

If you use SXSSF

(.xlsx => Excel 2007 OOXML file format) Add this dependency to your build.gradle

compile files('libs/poi-3.12-android-a.jar')
compile files('libs/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.12-20150511-a.jar')

The ProGuard Rules for both

And for ProGuard just add the rules quote by @PN10 above: https://github.com/centic9/poi-on-android/issues/5#issuecomment-283581644

Filol, thank you for detail answer. I removed the library? then added the line, but the program can't find the library - "org.apache.poi.xssf.streaming.SXSSFSheet" I can't create a sheet. — Delphian, Jun 28 '17 at 14:07
I tried to use only one library and caught the error - Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForDebug'. — Delphian, Jun 28 '17 at 16:21
@Delphian i have edited my answer, tell me if it answers your problem — filol, Jun 28 '17 at 19:05
Filol, I added two libraries into lib folder, then added two lines "compile file" and caught the same error. Are you sure that the gradle can interact with Jar? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44343870/gradle-dsl-method-not-found-exclude — Delphian, Jun 29 '17 at 09:08
There are a lot of warnings and 1 error! In warnings I see - schemasMicrosoftComVml and schemasMicrosoftComOfficeOffice — Delphian, Jun 29 '17 at 14:08
I added to proguard -dontwarn schemasMicrosoftComOfficeOffice.** -dontwarn schemasMicrosoftComVml.** -dontwarn schemasMicrosoftComOfficeExcel.** and can launch the app. But when I tried to use POI features I caught the error what I wrote above - com.bea.xml.stream.EventFactory not found — Delphian, Jun 29 '17 at 15:25
I do not understand, I did exactly the same things on my app, I even created an excel file and everything works — filol, Jun 30 '17 at 08:49
Filol, can you send me your test project? I will try to start on my computer? delphian@tut.by — Delphian, Jun 30 '17 at 09:52
@Delphian Sorry I have not had time these days. Did you find the solution to your problem? — filol, Jul 10 '17 at 21:53
Filol, I changed my build.gradle a lot of time.That is why I can show you the latest variant. See in my first post — Delphian, Jul 20 '17 at 06:53
@Delphian I found another solution much easier but a little more limited for the creation of excel files (graphic ...). Try and tell me if it works. Do not forget to delete the old library, imports and proguard rules. Look at my answer published above. — filol, Jul 26 '17 at 16:57
thank you for your hard work. I updated poishadow library but i caught the error. I wrote about the error this https://github.com/centic9/poi-on-android/issues/14. I suppose the problem appears when I am trying to create SXSSFWorkbook sheet. — Delphian, Aug 01 '17 at 15:20
Filol it's impossible because only SXSSFWorkbook can work with a lot of data fast. I tried to use other Workbooks but they have a serious limitation. — Delphian, Aug 02 '17 at 07:15
In this case I am afraid that no solution exists to this day. But do you really need to store a lot of data in an excel file? Why not use a database instead? — filol, Aug 02 '17 at 09:38
I am using database but the users need excel file format for their own experience and analysis that is why it's necessary to load data to excel file. This solve relys on users demands. — Delphian, Aug 02 '17 at 09:44
Thanks you man for posting this! Just what I was looking for! — Matthew556, Jan 14 '18 at 22:15

you can use the latest poi 3.17 without any significant modification to the original library for excel xlsx format and run this successfully on android provided you have eliminate all those duplicate classes bundle in the xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar and not forgetting these two required stax and stax-api jar library too . If you do run proguard , please be extra careful not to obfuscate relevant important classes such as com.bea.xml.** and the rest in the xmlbeans and some schema required by poi. ProGuard Rules Example as shown below. If the Api is less than 20 or below and in certain phone models , the full drawing and spreadsheet package in the ooxml-schemas-1.3.jar is somehow required to avoid class not found error.

jar link

-keep class org.** { *; }
-keep class com.bea.xml.stream.**{*;}
-keep class org.apache.xmlbeans.** { *; }
-keep class com.microsoft.** { *; }
-keep class org.openxmlformats.**{*;}``
-keep class com.apache.poi.** { *; }
-keep class schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans.** {*;}
