Google maps debug key invalid

Tonyha · November 22nd, 2011, 06:29 AM

Hi,

I am following the book "BEGINNING ANDROIDâ¢ TABLET APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT" and use the command suggested in the book:

Code:

 keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore
âC:\Users\<username>\.android\debug.keystoreâ -storepass android
-keypass android

it generate a fingerprint <SHA1>: C9:1E:49:47:79:B9:79:20:66:36:81:6D:BA:01:77:43:4E :88:A8:34

instead of <MD5>fingerprint, and when I enter the above fingerprint into
Android Maps API Key Signup, it said the key is invalid?

How do I generate a MD5 fingerprint instead of SHA1. I am using Window 7 .
Many thanks!

Tony.

Hi,

I have found out that if you use the Java jdk1.7.x you need to add -v option,
which will provide MD5, SHA1 etc... the command is:

keytool.exe -v -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore
âC:\Users\<user>\.android\debug.keystoreâ -storepass android -keypass android

Hope this will help the other
