Android Key Generator screen in Android Studio
When I try to generate a signed apk in Android Studio I get this screen to generate a new key. I have made a folder 'Android Key' and when I set path to this folder the wizard is asking for File name .jks. Where can I find .jks ?
Signing Your App in Android Studio
To sign your app in release mode in Android Studio, follow these steps:
1.On the menu bar, click Build > Generate Signed APK.
2.On the Generate Signed APK Wizard window, click Create new to create a new keystore.
If you already have a keystore, go to step 4.
3.On the New Key Store window, provide the required information as shown in figure 1.
Your key should be valid for at least 25 years, so you can sign app updates with the same key through the lifespan of your app.
4.On the Generate Signed APK Wizard window, select a keystore, a private key, and enter the passwords for both. Then click Next.
5.On the next window, select a destination for the signed APK and click Finish.
To generate a signed apk, you will need a keystore. Follow this procedure to generate a keystore.
On the menu bar, click Build > Generate Signed APK.
On the Generate Signed APK Wizard window, click Create new to create a new keystore.
On the New Key Store window, provide the required information.
Save fileName.jks file and keep it safe.
Use this keystore file for signing your file in future.

I had encountered the same problem and in my case it's because I don't generate a signed APK
To Generate Signed APK first you need keystore file. You can create keystore with Android Studio with these steps :
Select Build in Menu bar
Select Generate Signed Bundle or APK
Select APK or Android App Bundle. Choose based on what you need, if you don't know what to choose just choose APK
Click Create New button under key store path textbox
Fill all the information needed
Be aware that there's 2 password textbox. The first one is keystore passowrd and the second one is key password. It' s different thing and save them on notepad or whatever so you don't forget it
Also remember the path where you save the keystore file
After creating keystore file now we begin to create the signed APK
Follow the first 3 steps form creating keystore file until you asked to choose keystore
Now for keystore we choose the one that we have been created by clicking choose existing button
Fill in the keystore password and key password
Select you destination folder for the APK, and for build variant you can choose release
I am using android studio. The first time I generated signed apk, I went to build-> generate signed apk.
I created a Key Store at certain path with evry details(password, alias name,validity etc).
Every time I generate signed apk using this key. I select Release from the drop-down saying Build Type.
The apk gets generated and uploaded successfully.
I had to generate release key-hash, so I used the same keystore file that I generated from the build->generate signed apk menu. Will the key-hash generated be correct one?
ps: my keystore file doesn't have a .Keystore extension but it works
I am developed one app and i have deleted all log.d and all other log's.

I want to know the information of publishing an android apk in google play store.i read the developer website.But i struggled to get the private key for apk file.how to get the signed apk file with release mode.so i need some step by step process.
Here a few steps to help you create a release private signing key:
Select File -> Export
In the pop-up, expand Android and select Export Android Application
In the next pop-up, select the Browse button and select the Project you need to publish the APK of.
Click the Next button. The next set of options, is for selecting an existing Keystore or creating a new one. Choose Create new keystore, set a location where you want to save the keystore file, choose your own password and confirm the same.
Next page is the Key Creation set of options. In this, create an alias for the keystore. Again, choose a password and confirm the same. Set a validity in number of years for your keystore. It has to be a minimum 25 years. Enter the rest of the details on this page.
On the final page of this wizard, choose the location where you want the APK to be saved on your computer.
That's all there is to it.
NOTE: The release signing key is to be created by the developer and not by Google for the dev. It is a self signed certificate. Keep this key safe and secure, and possibly in multiple locations. If you are to loose access to the signing key file created in Step 4 above, you will not be able to publish updates to your application. There are no known ways of recovering a lost key. The same applies to the passwords you select in the process above. Do not loose either the key file or it's passwords.

There's a guide to signing Android applications on the developer website:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html
Check this out : Compile the application in the release mode
Android Tools > Export Signed Application Package
Support for a true debug build. Developers no longer need to add the android:debuggable attribute to the tag in the manifest — the build tools add the attribute automatically. In Eclipse/ADT, all incremental builds are assumed to be debug builds, so the tools insert android:debuggable="true". When exporting a signed release build, the tools do not add the attribute. In Ant, a ant debug command automatically inserts the android:debuggable="true" attribute, while ant release does not. If android:debuggable="true" is manually set, then ant release will actually do a debug build, rather than a release build.
I want to make the signed .apk's to release in the android market.
Steps I followed are
Make a folder with name keys and save the .apk in that.
Then right click Project->android tools->export the signed .apk
Then follow all the instructions.
But when I click on the finish button after all the changes, it will give the error
java.io.IOExeption:Invalid key formate
In Eclipse, right click on the project then Android Tools -> Export Signed application package.
Then just create your own signature key, or use an existing one if you have it.
