Google Maps API for Android, getting SHA1 cert instead of MD5

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?

Solution

  • 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).
