Android Studio + Linux: How to retrieve key-alias

I forgot my key-alias but still remember my key-password.

I am working on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 and using Android studio.

In Android Studio, you can find the path to your keystore when you choose Generate Signed APK from the Build menu. Once you know where your keystore is, use keytool from that location to show information about its contents. Of course you need to know the keystore password. For example, from the directory containing the keystore file:

$ keytool -list -v -keystore my-keystore
Enter keystore password:

Keystore type: JKS
Keystore provider: SUN

Your keystore contains 1 entry

Alias name: my-release-key
Creation date: Jan 20, 2015
...

The alias for each key, if present, is shown on the corresponding Alias name line.
