I am trying to program an android app to contain a google map. I am sure my code is correct because I have checked it a million times and even copied and pasted working code from other people. When I launch the app my app just has a bunch of gray squares. I have tried the API key and the debug KEY.
This is how I retrieve the API key from cmd:

Certificate fingerprint (SHA1): A5:18:02:AD:2E:C6:0E:02:C5:0A:F6:17:70:5E:31:1A:

I have seen other screen shots and where I have (SHA1) in parenthesis other people have MD5. Also I have noticed the command prompt gives me a 24 character long number where other people receive 16, and code.google only accepts a 16. I'm starting to feel as though I need to decrypt my MD5 key or something... Please HELP!?
Use following command to get md5,
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin>keytool -v -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Users\Gateway Owner\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android
