When I try to get the MD5 fingerprint using keytool, I get a SHA1 fingerprint instead and the Google Maps doesn't recognize it. How do I get the MD5 fingerprint?

    keytool -list -alias alias_name -keystore my-release-key.keystore generated an sha1 cert? – Kevin Qiu Aug 23 '11 at 18:22
  • what does the output look like? – Kevin Qiu Aug 23 '11 at 18:26
  • the fingerprint is 21 sets of 2 hexadecimal symbols and the google output was something like: "Click back and reenter the MD5 fingerprint." – Brahadeesh Aug 23 '11 at 18:28
  • does the same happen with the debug keystore and the one you make for the apk? – Kevin Qiu Aug 23 '11 at 18:32
  • yes. the same thing does happen. – Brahadeesh Aug 23 '11 at 18:33

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).

    I was looking for generating SHA1 key, -v option worked for me and displayed all certificate fingerprints like SHA1, MD5 and other info. Thanks. – Ankit Jul 20 '12 at 07:53

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.

  • Its Like: `>cd ` then `.../bin>keytool.exe -V -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Documents and Settings\\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android` – Pratik Butani Jul 24 '13 at 07:02

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

    output_

    Alias name: androiddebugkey Creation date: Sep 20, 2013 Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry Certificate chain length: 1 Certificate[1]: Owner: CN=Android Debug, O=Android, C=US Issuer: CN=Android Debug, O=Android, C=US Serial number: 39ea2d1c Valid from: Fri Sep 20 10:55:39 IST 2013 until: Sun Sep 13 10:55:39 IST 2043 Certificate fingerprints:

 SHA256: 57:7F:DE:25:31:38:4B:7F:4B:F1:96:CB:46:75:FC:34:85:E3:03:15:D3:

    D7:DE:0E:55:82:1B:21:9F:62:97:4E Signature algorithm name: SHA256withRSA Version: 3

I hope this will help to everyone!

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

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