How to get release key - android

Go to this path or where ever you have your keytool.exe file

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin

Hold shift and right click -> then press Open command window here

terminal will pop up, paste this in:

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\"Your-User-Name(no quotes)"\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

You should see some lines with letters and numbers.

Find the line that begins by SHA1, like this one:

• SHA1 : 84:BD:28:73:1B:6F:C2:84:2C:8D:03:11:56:19:E4:KD:38:C3:80:73

It's what we call a certificate fingerprint.

At this point, we have to take this SHA1 certificate fingerprint and transform it into a real key to put in our XML code.

And for that it's time to go to the Google APIs website.
