Now I am working on the Google maps API. I am not able to display the map on the emulator as well as the device......... how can i dis play the map.
I tried like this but i failed...
I searched for the debug.keystore in c:/ i found it.
I got Keytool.exe from the "C:\Program Files\Java\<JDK_version_number>\bin".
Opened the commend prompt and went to the above folder.
After that i copied this
"keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android"
and pressed enter then I got the Google api key **:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**:**
I pasted the key in this site http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html.
but the map is not generated it is saying that
fingerprint you entered is not valid. Please press the Back button on your browser and enter a valid certificate fingerprint.
What i need to do now to get the Map API key.
Okay, I was able to solve the problem in my case. I've got Java 7 on my machine and when I followed all the instructions as they are, I've got a SHA1 fingerprint, not MD5. I tried to use it to get the key and received exactly the error message from which this thread has started.
If you are having the same problem, just add the -v option (verbose output) after -list. keytool will then give you the MD5 fingerprint as well - use it.
keytool -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:\Users\<user>\.android\debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
I will try to let Android folks know that they need to update the page with instructions.
for JDK 1.7 you get SHA1 fingerprint by default. But for generating Google Map API key you need fingerprint of MD5.
For more details navigate through the below link.
How can I get the MD5 fingerprint from Java's keytool, not only SHA-1?
Ok, so what you're supposed to enter in the link you posted is the MD5 fingerprint of your android SDK debug certificate. To get this you navigate here
Windows Vista: C:\Users\.android\debug.keystore
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\.android\debug.keystore
and then enter
keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
What you're currently doing is navigating to your Java folder and trying to find the fingerprint for your android SDK debug certificate there. It isn't located in that folder and hence you end up with a blank fingerprint ::*:::*:::*:::*:::*:*
You need to find the .android folder.
have you checked the path you use? I mean "C:\android\debug.keystore", Does the file there?
have you compared your fingerprint (the result of keytool.exe calling) with the example on http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html page? they must be very similar, maybe you just copied not the whole fingerprint from the cmd
Here is the simplest way to generate MD5 signature.
Find the folder .android which contains debug,keystore(usually it is located in c:\Documents and Settings\"User Name".android
Oepn command prompt and go to the keytool folder that you mentioned.
Now use following easy command to key MD5 fingerprint.
keytool -list -keystore "c:\Documents and Settings\"User Name".android\debug.keystore"
press Enter. It will ask you for password again press enter.
Enter the generated key in Google API registration page.
Use this key in your MapView.
I too had the same problem but got fixed...the problem might be you.. might have not given default location for emulator..i will get u the proper way to get the map in emulator...
1)to generate the hash key
http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/mapkey.html
2)to set the default location
http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidLocationAPI/article.html#device_installation
hope it works fine..

I am following the instructions in this tutorial https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs193a/lectures/maps.pdf
I get the command prompt to C:\Users\USERNAME.android (for windows new)
I then type >keytool -list -v -keystore debug.keystore
but when I press Enter I get:
What is going wrong? It seems like I have not set something up quite correctly, because I have followed the instructions which didnt seem difficult.
1. Open Terminal In Android Studio you are running.
2. Enter: keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
3. Copy SHA1 key.
4. Go To Google developer console and select Android API Key.
5. Copy SHA1 key to android Fingerprint and Write Package in Package Name block.
6. Generate API key.
7. USE API key
No map shows up but a grid. So I looked up some sample fixes and came to this
help needed to publish android app in market
however, after running the cmds as suggested, I end up with a SHA1 certificate fingerprint. But when I go to sign up for a google API key, I see I need an MD5 certificate fingerprint instead. How do I tackle this please?
And here is the solution to your problem
Open Command Prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin(might be different in your case).
As you are following this solution that means you have keystore with you.If yes move to step 3. else create a new keystore like mentioned in this.
Type the following command keytool.exe -v -list -keystore " <path_of_keystore_youhave_created_in_step_2>" it will ask for password use the same password you have used while creating keystore and you will get SHA1 MD5 and many information you have provided while creating keystore.
First find the location of debug.keystore (In eclipse you can find location of debug.keystore at Window->Preference->Android->Build).Then navigate the path of keytool.exe in command prompt. keytool.exe is located inside Java –> JDK – > bin folder inside program files.
For window write the following code in command prompt C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin> keytool -list –alias androiddebugkey -keystore <path_of_debug.keystore> -storepass android -keypass android
Here <path_of_debug.keystore> is path of debug.keystore. For my case it is C:\Users\virus.android.
Copy the MD5 key(eg:- BE:05:C8:F2:42:7A:97:37:78:EE:BD:4A:31:7D:A6:69) and goto on following link to find google map api key http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html
I want to use googleAPI. I have tried the following:
1)I have generated a googleAPI key using the keytool and the debug.keystore.
2) I have also generated another key using Myactivity.keystore.
Following these instructions, from fere and other sits:
You'll have to do following things to get it working:
You'll have to generate a MD5 hash of your application debug key
You'll have to provide that MD5 hash to Google while signing up for a map key
Google will then give you a key that you can put in your mapview
This is going to work in these steps:
Locate the android debug key in your system. it is found on the following locations depending on your operating system (This path will be useful):
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.android\debug.keystore
Mac OS X and Linux : ~/.android/debug.keystore (where ~ is the path of your home directory.
In a terminal, use the following keytool command to generate the MD5 Hash:
keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore <path_to_debug_keystore>.keystore -storepass android -keypass android
Copy the generated hash
Go to : code.google. com/android/maps-api-signup.html (you maybe required to login with your Google account)
Paste the above generated MD5 hash there, accept the Terms and Conditions and click on Generate button
You'll get the API key for your map. paste this in your
When you plan to release the app, generate a release key and repeat the same procedure with the release keys.
Although, all the above steps are exactly what the links contain, but this is a summary.
I have tried them both but non of them seems to work. I see only the grid ant in the logcat i get Couldn't get connection factory client and through all the search I have done this is a problem with my api key. how should I know that my api key is correct?
Try This to get Correct API key:--
That is the exact path--
keytool -list -keystore "C:\Users\XYZ\.android\debug.keystore"
Total path for cmd prompt to get the MD5 fingureprint for the GoogleMap API Key***
D:\eclipse\jre\bin>keytool -list -keystore "C:\Users\XYZ\.android\debug.keystore"
MD5 fingurePrint will look like this--
3E:F4:D6:E6:93:4D:BB:B8:62:3A:A6:0F:E0:FC:4C:65
When u get the fingurePrint number afterthat to get the API Key use this link---
http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/maps-api-signup.html
Then u will get API key of your system and can get the Map easily....
I got a fingerprint
73:F9:85:F8:14:56:4A:E7:D1:D4:31:6F:23:AA:4D:38:EB:16:5C:EE
but when i used to generate api Key using this link
http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html it shows
"The fingerprint you entered is not valid. Please press the Back
button on your browser and enter a valid certificate fingerprint".
If i omit last four Character and use
73:F9:85:F8:14:56:4A:E7:D1:D4:31:6F:23:AA:4D:38
it generate api key that not support to create Google map in android Application
Set Your java Path in Command Prompt And also set debug.keystore path.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin >
keytool -v -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\UserName\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
And use MD5 fingerprint .....
Super easy with Eclipse Keytool addon-tool
You can use the android.debug key for debugging or your own key for using it on a device.
Am using ubuntu .am developing apps with google map.for that i registering for map apikey.I follwed the instruction in this following Link link text
from this instruction i got MD5 Fingerprint of Your Signing Certificate,also i have keystore ,But i cant able get MD5 Fingerprint of the SDK Debug Certificate, for this I followed the commend
keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey \
-keystore .keystore \
-storepass android -keypass android.
I specified the path_to_debug_keystore location according to my application location. But wen i execute that commend
I get the "bash: my-release-key.keystore: Permission denied."
I dont know which commend will i use to get this MD5 Fingerprint of the SDK Debug Certificate.can any one give me the solution for this.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Lakshmanan.
Find out where your debug.keystore is located - where the avd manager is:
I realize you are using Linux, but
in WindowsXP it's under "C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\.android\debug.keystore"
in Windows7: C:\Users\[user]\.android\debug.keystore
I am not familiar with ubuntu - sorry. But, the instructions should translate respectively.
So in the command prompt adapt this generic path reference to your specific info:
~path\keytool -list -keystore ~path.android\debug.keystore
Do not enter a password as there is none.
Look for the MD5 fingerprint
