 * Annotation used for marking methods and fields that are called by reflection.
 * Useful for keeping components that would otherwise be removed by Proguard.
 * Use the value parameter to mention a file that calls this method.

 * Note that adding this annotation to a method is not enough to guarantee that
 * it is kept - either its class must be referenced elsewhere in the program, or
 * the class must be annotated with this as well.
