3. Write cmd and click OK.

4. Screen as shown in image will pop-up.

5. Change Directory to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin ( This is where keytool.exe is located). See above image for doing so.

6. Now copy and paste below given line and press enter

keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore “C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\.android\debug.keystore”

Note:
  • For pasting in command prompt screen use mouse left key and paste. ctrl + v will not work.
  • UserName: Name Used on your system check in  "C:\Documents and Settings".
  • Don't change anything from above line except UserName.
  • Path to debug.keystore file is listed in Eclipse under Window->Preferences->Android->Build

7. It will ask for password, type android and press enter (sometime when you type it will not show on screen, so don't get worried)

Once you get the Certificate fingerprint the next step is to sign up for Google Map API Key.


2. Accept the Term Of Use.

3. Paste certificate's MD5 fingerprint (which we generates) and click on 'Generate API Key' button.

4. Provide your gmail id and password and you will get the API Key.

Happy Coding.
