google maps api for android, getting SHA1 cert ins

Question

when i try to get the MD5 fingerprint using keytool, I get a SHA1 fingerprint instead and the google maps doesnt recognize it. How do I get the MD5 fingerprint?

Answer 1

Use JDK version 1.6 instead of 1.7 because 1.7 generates the fingerprint with SHA1 by default. or you can use (-v) option of the keytool to give you all supported algorithms output and you will find the MD5 in it. for examble : keytool -v -list -keystore [your keystore path] and then enter the password which is [android] by default (you can get the keystore path from Eclipse window>Prefs>Android>build).

The easiest, full prove and permanent way to get MD5 or SHA1 or SHA256 is as follows_

1. Update the PATH Environment Variable.
2. Start Command prompt "Ctrl+R" & enter cmd in RunDailog panel then click ok.
3. Navigate to the directory where your debug.keystore file resides e.g., C:\Users\Admin\.android path of my debug.keystore file.

4. Run the following command

   C:\<PATH OF YOUR DEBUG.KEYSTORE FILE>>keytool -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -keypass android -storepass android

   e.g., C:\Users\Admin.android>keytool -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -keypass android -storepass android

Answer 3

Try this one in cmd:

First go on this path : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin

then

Type this command..

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin > keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore c:\Users\Mitul.android\debug.keystore -keypass android -storepass android

The blow code will work! try this to get md5 key

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin>keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey - keystore "c:\Users\Administrator.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -ke ypass android

instead of path & users administrator give your own

Answer 4

just export your app in eclipse and the MD5 + SHA1 will be displayed in the window. (just before "finish")

Answer 5

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\bin>keytool.exe -V -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Documents and Settings\IBM\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

Consider your jdk-bin path in the first path place and your home user directory in the second path. For windows 7 it is like "C:\Users\username.android\debug.keystore"

Use the above command you will get all the keys.
