Is the method for getting an SHA-1 fingerprint the same as the method of getting the fingerprint? Previously, I was running this command:

Windows Command Prompt running keytool.exe

It's not clear to me if the result I'm getting is the SHA-1 fingerprint. Can somebody clarify this?


Follow this tutorial for creating SHA1 fingerprint for Google Map v2

For Debug mode:

keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android 

for Release mode:

keytool -list -v -keystore {keystore_name} -alias {alias_name}

example:

keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\MG\Desktop\test.jks -alias test

On windows, when keytool command is not found, Go to your installed JDK Directory e.g. <YourJDKPath>\Java\jdk1.8.0_231\bin\, open command line and try the above commands for debug/release mode.

Another way of getting your SHA1 OR SHA-256 use ./gradlew signingReport

For more detailed info visit Using Gradle's Signing Report


If you are using android studio use simple step

  1. Run your project
  2. Click on Gradle menu
  3. Expand Gradle Tasks tree
  4. Double click on android -> signingReport and see the magic
  5. It will tell you everything on the Run tab

Or
Second Way is
Create new project in android studio New -> Google Maps Activity

enter image description here

then open google_maps_api.xml xml file as shown in pics you will see your SHA key

  5. Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List)
  6. Click on Tasks/Android
  7. Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Run Bar)

If you are using new Android Studio it shows time to execute on top there is Toggle task execution mode click on that you will get you SHA-1 key. Check 2nd and 3rd reference images.
