App crashing when I run Proguard on GSON (which using enum)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using GSON in my Android app to parser the data. I have added an enum in 
my Model object. After adding an enum my app started crashing. When I made 
runProguard false everything works fine. I did everything I could find on 
internet to fix the problem when program is true. But still no luck.

I have already done following thing in Prodgrad-rule file

-keep class com.google.** { *; }

-keepattributes Annotation -keepattributes Signature

-keepclassmembers enum * { public static **[] values(); public static ** 
valueOf(java.lang.String); }

Enum Stuff exmaple

public enum TypeX {
@SerializedName("live")
LIVE,

@SerializedName("upcoming")
UPCOMING,

@SerializedName("replay")
REPLAY; }
My stack trace

See issue 561 for an explanation of what's happening and the fix. Basically, 
you need to register a type adapter since the enum field names won't match the 
values in JSON after ProGuard and the mangling breaks normal enum conventions.

Furthermore, this violates JLS 8.9.2: 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.9.2

> In addition to the members that an enum type E inherits from Enum<E>, for 
each declared enum constant with the name n, the enum type has an implicitly 
declared public static final field named n of type E.
