Android:Google Maps API Key Signup : MD5 certification key
I want to display the google maps. For that I have to generate md5 fingerprint.
I have to run command as follows:
keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
I got this error
keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
Please help me. Is there any other way to get the md5 finger print? Thanks in advance.....

Java's documentation on this tool is bad. I had a heck of a time figuring it out and created a walkthrough for myself in case I ever needed to do it again. It makes sense to me, hopefully it makes sense to the world.
I use Java version 1.6 and assume this should work for whatever version you have but you'll just have to change the version numbers in your file folders.
1) open command prompt
2) change directories to this directoy: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin
3) copy paste this (obviously change Dude with your curent windows username)
keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\Dude\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
4) MD5 will be displayed in this pattern where X can be a number or letter:
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:
5) Go here: http://code.google. com/android/maps-api-signup.html
6) follow steps and your apikey will be generated will look something like this:
(fyi I just mashed a bunch of keys to create the string shown below)
From Google Web API Key Tool
Your key is:
93dn23o812dsm19021087ry2f823o8fn3f0vkTL
This key is good for all apps signed with your certificate whose fingerprint is:
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:
Here is an example xml layout to get you started on your way to systemic mapping glory:
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:apiKey="93dn23o812dsm19021087ry2f823o8fn3f0vkTL"

Cannot get SHA1 certificate fingerprint Android Studio [duplicate]

How to get the SHA-1 fingerprint certificate in Android Studio for debug mode?
(47 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm very new in Android, i'm building an app what will uses the googleMaps API, before i can use it, i need SHA1 certificate fingerprint, i follow many tutorials to get SHA1 certificate fingerprint and this displayed on my commandPrompt:
(sorry i'm not allowed to post an image here) :
Lists entries in a keystore
options:
-rfc output in RFC style
-alias <alias> alias name of the entry to process
-keystore <keystore> keystore name
-storepass <arg> keystore password
and e.t.c...
after i go into bin folder inside java\jdk 7\
and ran this command:
eytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\leon.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
The easiest way to do this (for debugging) is to run the app in debug connected to Android Studio. Check the messages (logcat) in Android studio and you'll see a message, in red "Unable to connect Google Maps: Authorisation Failure" and then underneath that will be the exact string you need to copy into the Google API Console (SHA1 + app name). Copy, paste, wait a bit for Google to spread to all the servers and then try again.
Otherwise, you just need to run
keytool -list -v -keystore mystore.keystore
(No need for the other parameters) and it's the entry under SHA1 that you need.

Android Map Certifivate Fingerprint. (MD5):

So I am trying to do a map application on android.
I wrote this code on my mac os terminal to create Certificate fingerprint
keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
code generate:
(MD5): C9:C1:40:66:40:07:D0:8C:FF:44:A3:7D:F4:73:57:4B
I don't know why but code generate MD5 not SHA-1
and I understand I need 20 character finger print but my terminal generated 16 character.
if my fingerprint is wrong how can I create true one. If its true than how can I create Api key for map from developer.google.com
If do you have any clue please help. Thanks
Add -v in the end of the keytool command that you gave. It might look something like this.
keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android -v
UPDATE:
I answered somewhat related problem like this before, you might get an idea from it if my answer is not enough for you. :)

How to create release key for android v2 maps

I tried below code for a debug key and its working fine. When i make a apk then map is crashing. After searching in google i found debug key is work in release mode.
keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\your_user_name\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
So,how can i create a release key for v2 maps. please help me.
I didn't had the chance of doing that, but for my understanding what should be done is:
1. First of all you will need to export you project as a Signed Application:
Right click your project -> Android Tools -> Export Signed Application Package...
This will take you through wizard where you would have to create a new release.keystore with a password or use an existing one you created before.
2. From this point on the process should be identical to the one where you use the debug.keystore.
3. All the steps of creating a debug api key and registering it in Google API Console are described at this blog post I wrote:
Google Maps API V2 Key
4. Just remember that using the debug.keystore will not give you desired result.
Tyr this..
your directory where you have installed java and go to the bin folder.
For example-
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk_your_version\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\your_user_name\.a
ndroid\debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
i think it might help you.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk_your_version\bin>keytool.exe -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:\Users\your_user_name\.android\(Application).keystore -storepass YOUR_STORE_PASSWORD -keypass KEY_PASSWORD
Generally YOUR_STORE_PASSWORD and KEY_PASSWORD are same is "android".

I have gone through whole procedure of getting map api key .But when I enter my Md5 fingerprint it shows invalid .
Could somebody help me.
Is there any other way to get it work?
i think this is right a way to get key ::
To get certificate fingerprint (MD5) follow the simple steps below:
You need to get the keystore file for getting the certificate fingerprint (MD5).
Your keystore file can be found at the following path
"C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Android"
(Or)
"C:\Documents and Settings\.android"
Keystore file name is "debug.keystore" file.
Copy the "debug.keystore" file to some other folder (ex: - "D:\Androidkeystore\") (its user friendly to use).
Open command Prompt and go to the Java installed directory. ("C:\Program Files\Java\\bin")
Then type the below line (given in box) and press enter.
keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "D:\AndroidKeystore\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
Here the MD5 certificate fingerprint is "64:88:A2:FC:AA:9F:B1:B0:CA:E4:D0:24:A8:1E:77:FB"
this is working actually........but im getting small error here
this is my path-C:\ANDROID\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin>keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore"C:\ANDROID\debugkey\debug.keystore"-storepass android -keypass android
keytool error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Usage error, android is not a legal c
ommand
and finally i have solve from here ::
For more ..
as you got fingerprints copy it and past in Sign Up page. you got a key successfully
if your are using windows do this
C:\>keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore .android\debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
in linux
keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore /home/.android/debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin ---> Here key tool is available ------
C:\Users\HB.android\debug.keystore ---> keystore path
// This may be different My UserName is HB so replace with your's
Note:without keytool u cannot get the api key and cannot execute the command
The command goes here ---->
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin> keytool -list -keystore C:\Users\HB.android\debug.keystore
FF:82:84:27:33:43:C1:58:DC:4D:AC:F0:3C:A0:BF:7A
