How to get the SHA-1 fingerprint certificate in Android Studio for debug mode?

Question

I have shifted myself from Eclipse to Android Studio. Now I am trying to work on my Map app. So I need my SHA-1 fingerprint certificate number.

When I was using Eclipse it was right under Windows -> Preferences -> Android -> Build. But in Android Studio I couldn't find out any option like this so that I could find easily the fingerprint. I am using Windows. I have read from this link that:

Android Studio signs your app in debug mode automatically when you run or debug your project from the IDE.

So I tried to run this in command line after setting my Java bin path from this link and unfortunately couldn't find my fingerprint. It is saying that it is an illegal option.

keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Is there a way to find the SHA-1 fingerprint from Android Studio like it was very easy in Eclipse? As I am newbie in Android Studio, what is the full process to find it?

Another thing I want to add is that I have my Eclipse generates the SHA-1 fingerprint and previously I have my app registered on that fingerprint in Google developer console, and I worked on that app in Eclipse by that API key. Is the same API key can be worked on this my project in Android Studio?

Answer 1

Easiest ways ever:

Update added for Android Studio V 2.2 in last step

There are two ways to do this.

1. Faster way:

1. Open Android Studio
2. Open your Project
3. Click on Gradle (From Right Side Panel, you will see Gradle Bar)
4. Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar, you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project)
5. Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List (root))
6. Click on Tasks
7. Click on Android
8. Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Run Bar(Sometimes it will be in Gradle Console))
9. Select app module from module selection dropdown to run or debug your application

Check the screenshot below:

2. Work with Google Maps Activity:

1. Open Android Studio
2. Open Your Project
3. Click on File menu -> Select New -> Click on Google -> Select Google Maps Activity
4. A dialog would appear -> Click on Finish
5. Android Studio would automatically generate an XML file named with google_maps_api.xml
6. You would get debug SHA1 key here (at line number 10 of the XML file)

Check Screenshot below:

Android Studio V 2.2 Update

There is an issue with Execution.

Solution:

• Click on Toggle tasks execution/text mode from Run bar

Check Screenshot below:

Done.

Answer 2

My problem is the same as I have also shifted my Google Maps project from Eclipse to Android Studio. I have solved my problem by following this:

Go to your Java bin directory via the command:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71\bin>

Now type in the below command in your command window (CMD.EXE):

keytool -list -v -keystore c:\users\your_user_name\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Example:

keytool -list -v -keystore c:\users\James\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Or you can just write this in cmd if you don't know the username:

keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

And you will get the SHA1.

Then I created a new key from https://code.google.com/apis/console because of my package name got changed and then use this key in my application. It works fine.

Make sure you are in BIN folder of jdkX.X.X_XX (my folder name is jdk1.7.0_71), or else if you don't know what folder name you have then find it by opening the Java folder, and you will see what the folder name is, but you must be in your BIN folder and then run this command. Today I have got my SHA1 value in a cmd command window by the above procedure.

Answer 3

For Mac, this worked perfectly:

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

Answer 4

I just found the case to get SHA-1 in Android Studio:

1. Click on your package and choose New -> Google -> Google Maps Activity
2. Android Studio redirects you to google_maps_api.xml

And you will see all you need to get google_maps_key.

Answer 5

The best solution for generating an SHA-1 key for Android is from Android Studio.

Click on Gradle on the far right side:

Click on the refresh icon, and you will see the name of the app:

Click on Tasks -> Report -> Signing Report:

Find the SHA-1 key on the bottom part in the console:

Answer 6

[Updated 2017]

Step 1: On Top Right side of Android Studio Click On Gradle option.

Step 2:

-- Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar, you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project)

-- Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List (root))

-- Click on Tasks

-- Click on Android

-- Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Gradle Console/Run Bar)

Step 3: Click on the Gradle Console option present bottom of Android Studio to see your SHA1 Key.

Step 4: Now you got the SHA key but you can't run your project.That is why Change your configuration to app mode. See image below.

Like this.

Step 5: Happy Coding!!

Answer 7

Many Users has given their answers and it's working fine in Android Studio's version below 4.2. But for Android Studio 4.2 and newer version ,follows these steps to generate SHA Key . Steps are given in these pictures.

Steps:-

1) Click on the gradle. Top right on the Android Studio. As you can see in this picture.

2) Now click on icon as seen in below picture. A new searchable windows/screen will open.

3) Now type,gradle signingreport and press Enter to start generating SHA KEY as seen in below picture.

4) Your SHA Key will generate as seen in this picture. Using these steps you can generate SHA KEY in Android Studio 4.2.

Answer 8

i am going with @Hiren Patel answer but slightly change in android studio 2.2 and later

Answer 9

For Linux & Mac

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

Answer 10

I did this way:

Step 1: Go to this folder

On Mac: /Users/<username>/.android/

On Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.android\

On Linux: ~/.android/

Step 2: Run this command line:

keytool -list -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android

You will see the SHA-1 key.

Answer 11

for me the shortest way is to type ./gradlew signingReport in the terminal command line.

P.s : if you are in Windows use .\gradlew signingReport instead.

Answer 12

1. Click on Gradle Icon in Right Pane.
2. Click on Root Project Name.
3. Click Tasks
4. Click Android
5. Click signingReport
6. in bottom pane where you see Run report
7. Click "Toggle Tasks Execytions/text mode"
8. you can see the sha-1

Answer 13

I directly used the following command from my Mac using the terminal. I got SHA1 Finger. This is the command:

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

Answer 14

It's very very easy in Gnu/Linux - Mac - Windows

First: - copy this command

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

Second: Now copy and paste the command in the terminal the Android Studio

Result!

Good Luck!!

Answer 15

For getting SHA1 for a production keystore:

1. Build --> Generate Signed APK...

2. Create keystore with password and follow the steps

3. Go to your Mac/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/Home/bin and drag the bin folder to the terminal after cd command to point at it so you can use the keytool tool. So, in terminal write cd (drag bin here) then press enter.

4. Then, copy and paste this in the terminal:

   keytool -exportcert -alias Your_keystore_AliasName -keystore /Users/Home/Development/AndroidStudioProjects/YoutubeApp/app/YoutubeApp_keystore.jks -list -v
   

   Erase my path and go where you stored your keystore and drag your keystone and drop it after -keystore in the command line so the path will get created.

   Also, erase Your_keystore_AliaseName to put your alias keystone name that you used when you created it.

5. Press Enter and enter the password :)

6. When you enter the password, the terminal won't show that it receives keyboard entries, but it actually does, so put the password and press Enter even if you don't see the password is typed out.

Answer 16

If you are using Android Studio, you can get the SHA-1 and MD5 certificate fingerprint (debug, release... all Build Types!!) fast through Gradle Tasks:

signingReport

The SHA-1 and MD5 certificates are shown in Messages Logs.

Android Plugin (configured in the Gradle app) creates a debug mode for default.

com.android.application

File route to keystore:

HOME/.android/debug.keystore

I recommend to attach debug.keystore to build.gradle. To do this put a file, debug.keystore, in an app folder and then Add SigningConfigs in Gradle app:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    android {
        ................
        signingConfigs {
            debug {
                storeFile file("../app/debug.keystore")
                storePassword "android"
                keyAlias "androiddebugkey"
                keyPassword "android"
            }
            release {
                storeFile file("../app/debug.keystore")
                storePassword "android"
                keyAlias "androiddebugkey"
                keyPassword "android"
            }
        }
        ........
    }

Extra: If you want creates for release, put a file, release.keystore, in an app folder. (This example uses the same debug.keystore.)

Answer 17

This worked in my case: Use %USERPROFILE% instead of giving path .keystore file stored in this path automatically C:Users/user name/.android:

keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Answer 18

I found a very easy process to find you MD5, SHA-1 fingerprint using Android Studio.

1. Run your project
2. Go to Gradle Menu (Menu: View -> Tool Windows -> Gradle)
3. Go to 'signingReport' in Gradle window. (Your project -> Tasks -> android -> signingReport)
4. Run it. (Using double-click or Ctrl + Shift + F10)
5. In Run window you will find all info.

It's work only for debug mode. In realease mode I can not see sha-1. Here result of gradlew signingReport

Variant: release
Config: none
----------
Variant: releaseUnitTest
Config: none
----------
Variant: debug
Config: debug
Store: path\Android\avd\.android\debug.keystore
Alias: AndroidDebugKey
MD5: xx:xx:xx:62:86:B7:9C:BC:FB:AD:C8:C6:64:69:xx:xx
SHA1: xx:xx:xx:xx:0F:B0:82:86:1D:14:0D:AF:67:99:58:1A:01:xx:xx:xx
Valid until: Friday, July 19, 2047
----------

So I must use keytool to get sha-1. Here official Firebase doc:

Get_sha-1_for_release

Answer 19

If you have Android Studio then it is very very simple. Just create a MapActivity using Android Studio and after creating it go into google_maps_api.xml. In there there will be a link given in comments. If you paste it in your browser, it will ask a few details to be filled in and after that your API will be generated. There is no need of using keytool and all.

Screen shot:

Answer 20

For Windows 10, from the Android Studio terminal:

keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %USER_PROFILE%"/.android/debug.keystore -list -v

Note: For the debug.keystore, the password is "android". The debug keystore is typically located at "%USER_PROFILE%"/.android/debug.keystore.

Answer 21

Use simple command:

keytool -exportcert -keystore path-to-debug-or-production-keystore -list -v

and you will get the SHA1 key.

Answer 22

If you just want to view the SHA certificate values then you can just run from the android folder:

 gradlew signingReport

...that'll give you a quick and easy view of your fingerprint

Answer 23

I want to add one thing with the answer given by Softcoder. I have seen some people couldn't give their debug.keystore path correctly on the command line. They see that they are doing the exact process accepted above, but it is not working. At that point try to drag the debug.keystore and drop it on the command line. It will help if the accepted answer is not working for you. Do the full process without any hesitation. It was a nice answer.

Answer 24

Click the Gradle icon on the right panel, then click on the (root).

Tasks > android > signingReport

Then the Gradle script will execute, and you will see your keys.

Answer 25

Simple, Call this methods in your Splash Screen: hash() and getCertificateSHA1Fingerprint(), and then then keys would be visible in log

private void hash() {


            PackageInfo info;
            try {

                info = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
                        this.getPackageName(), PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);

                for (android.content.pm.Signature signature : info.signatures) {
                    MessageDigest md;
                    md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
                    md.update(signature.toByteArray());
                    Log.e("sagar sha key", md.toString());
                    String something = new String(Base64.encode(md.digest(), 0));
                    Log.e("sagar Hash key", something);
                    System.out.println("Hash key" + something);
                }

            } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e1) {
                Log.e("name not found", e1.toString());
            } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
                Log.e("no such an algorithm", e.toString());
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e("exception", e.toString());
            }
        }

        private void getCertificateSHA1Fingerprint() {
            PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
            String packageName = this.getPackageName();
            int flags = PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES;
            PackageInfo packageInfo = null;
            try {
                packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(packageName, flags);
            } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            Signature[] signatures = packageInfo.signatures;
            byte[] cert = signatures[0].toByteArray();
            InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(cert);
            CertificateFactory cf = null;
            try {
                cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X509");
            } catch (CertificateException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            X509Certificate c = null;
            try {
                c = (X509Certificate) cf.generateCertificate(input);
            } catch (CertificateException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            String hexString = "";
            try {
                MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1");
                byte[] publicKey = md.digest(c.getEncoded());
                Log.e("sagar SHA",byte2HexFormatted(publicKey));
            } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            } catch (CertificateEncodingException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

        public static String byte2HexFormatted(byte[] arr) {
            StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(arr.length * 2);
            for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                String h = Integer.toHexString(arr[i]);
                int l = h.length();
                if (l == 1) h = "0" + h;
                if (l > 2) h = h.substring(l - 2, l);
                str.append(h.toUpperCase());
                if (i < (arr.length - 1)) str.append(':');
            }
            return str.toString();
        }

Thank You.

Answer 26

Use the instructions from the API Manager using keytool:

Get the package name from your AndroidManifest.xml file. Then use the following command to get the fingerprint:

keytool -list -v -keystore mystore.keystore

Answer 27

The path of the keystore is in double quotes. It is working fine.

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\App innovation\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Answer 28

• Go to File > Project Structure Select app or mobile whatever you gave the name from Modules

• Choose Signing tab.

• You can add certificate clicking on the + button.

Answer 29

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

Answer 30

You can use following command and change AJAY SUNDRIYAL with your system name.This is only for your debug.keystore.This will work for you.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore "c:\users\AJAY SUNDRIYAL\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
