Answer 1

Get rid of the backslashes if you are typing this all on one line. Hence, it should look like:

keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android

(assuming you are running this in the directory where your debug keystore resides, which is ~/.android on Ubuntu)

Answer 2

Use -v for jdk 1.7. Beginning with the Android SDK release v1.0, you need to apply for a free Google Maps API key before you can integrate Google Maps into your Android application. To apply for a key, you need to follow the series of steps outlined below. You can also refer to Google's detailed documentation on the process at http://code.google.com/Android/toolbox/apis/mapkey.html.

First, if you are testing the application on the Android emulator, locate the SDK debug certificate located in the default folder of "C: \Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Android". The filename of the debug keystore is debug.keystore. For deploying to a real Android device, substitute the debug.keystore file with your own keystore file. In a future article I will discuss how you can generate your own keystore file.

For simplicity, copy this file (debug.keystore) to a folder in C: \ (for example, create a folder called "C: \Android").

Using the debug keystore, you need to extract its MD5 fingerprint using the Keytool.exe application included with your JDK installation. This fingerprint is needed to apply for the free Google Maps key. You can usually find the Keytool.exe from the "C: \Program Files\Java\\bin" folder.

Issue the following command to extract the MD5 fingerprint.

C: \Program Files\Java\\bin>keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C: \Android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

Use -v for jdk 1.7

C: \Program Files\Java\\bin>keytool.exe -v -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C: \Android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

Answer 3

1. Open command prompt
2. Go to your jdk/bin directory

3. Type following

   keytool -v -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\Akshay Taru\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

Note: 1. Change "C:\Users\Akshay Taru.android\debug.keystore" to your .keystore
          2. Do not forget double quotes while specifying path.
