Answer 1

Actually you should be fine specifying in a custom proguard.cfg file:

-keep class android.support.v7.widget.FitWindowsLinearLayout { *; }

Create file, add above line, add it to your project and specify Build Action: ProguardConfiguration

Clean (important)/Build/Deploy and it should work. ​​​​​​ ​​
