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

Question

I am trying to make a Map app in Android Studio, on Windows. How can I find the 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 a similar option.

I read in the documentation that

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

So I tried setting my Java bin path and running the following command, taken from here:

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

However, I got an error message saying that it is an illegal option.

Step by step, how do I get this information in Android Studio?

As a workaround: I previously registered my app using the SHA-1 fingerprint generated by Eclipse. Can I use the same API key to work on 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.

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.

Or For Newer Android Studio

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.

Note:- If you want to get SHA KEY for Flutter/ React native projects. Follow these steps:--

1)Open Android Folder

2)Click on gradlew and Open it in Terminal

3)Type the command "./gradlew signingreport" and you will get the SHA KEY for different Varient and Config

Answer 4

For Mac, this worked perfectly:

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

Answer 5

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 6

In Android Studio 4+ (not sure about version), if you click on Gradle on the right bar, it won't show you any option to generate signing report. It will show you this:

Click on Task list not built... info and un-check the option Do not build gradle task list.. and save the settings.

Then click gradle sync button:

Then you'll see the signingreport option:

Update for Android Studio Flamingo:

Option name changed

The option namely Only include test tasks in the Gradle task list generated during Gradle Syncs that needs to be unchecked will look this:

Answer 7

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 8

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 9

[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 10

If you just want the SHA certificate values, run the following command from the android folder:

 gradlew signingReport

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

Answer 11

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 12

For Linux & Mac

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

Answer 13

in the terminal type this command

gradle signingReport

very important

press Ctrl + enter

⚠ not enter

Work with Mac And Windows

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 16

Above answers give me a command not found error The correct terminal command that works for me was

./gradlew signingReport

Answer 17

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 18

Follow the simple following steps to get SHA-1, SHA-256 & MD5:

1. Click on Gradle placed at top right side of IDE.
2. Click on Gradle icon.
3. A popup window will opened, write signingReport after Gradle word & press enter.
4. Signing report will be generate.

Answer 19

Recently Android Studio and in its last update 2020.3.1 has removed signingReport from Gradle sidebar but you can still get these details in Android studio in Terminal, just write the following command:

Windows:

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

Linux & MacOS:

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

Answer 20

For Android Studio 4.2 or new

Goto the Gradle on the right side

Open it and then Click on Execute Gradle Task and this pan is open

then you have to type signingreport and press enter this will execute the command and will provide the result.

For Older Version of Android Studio

You can follow all of the above steps on the older version to get your result.

Answer 21

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 22

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

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

Get_sha-1_for_release

Answer 23

goto this website and find for yourself https://developers.google.com/android/guides/client-auth

method1 : ./gradlew signingReport

method2 :

    (a) for mac/linux

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




     (b) for windows ==>
keytool -list -v \
-alias androiddebugkey -keystore %USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore

password : android

Answer 24

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 25

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 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

---

Other option using the terminal of Android Studio, using windows type :

.\gradlew signingReport

Very important press Ctrl + enter (Dont use only enter)

The you will get the SHA1 in the output

Answer 27

Click on the Terminal icon on the bottom left corner

cd to the android folder and run

gradlew signingreport

Once this is done, it will print the SHA-1, MD5, and SHA-256 keys

Answer 28

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.

Answer 29

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 30

For me I was not getting signing report option in my android studio so I found very easy way to get SHA-1.

in terminal(of Android studio) execute this line :

./gradlew signingReport

Answer 31

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 32

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 33

Use simple command:

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

and you will get the SHA1 key.

Answer 34

The easiest way is

1. From left side click on project folder >> android then right-click on gradlew folder and select open in terminal

2. paste it into terminal './gradlew signingReport'

   Good Luck

Answer 35

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 36

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);

Answer 37

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 38

You can open the terminal from the android studio and write this line:

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

Answer 39

• 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 40

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

Answer 41

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

Answer 42

This worked for me:

keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore

Put path-to-debug-or-production-keystore here like C:\users\youruser.android\debug.keystore -list -v

Make sure you already are in the Java\jdk*\bin directory in a command or terminal window.

Then use Android as the password.

Sometimes web resources could be misleading. These are the ones working:

• SHA1 Fingerprint Tutorial

• Quick Start Sample app

Answer 43

If you need SHA1 for Google Maps, you can just see your error log in LogCat.

Answer 44

When creating a new "Google Maps Project", in Android Studio V 1.5.1, the last screen opens the google_maps_api.xml file and displays the screen with instructions as follows:

Resources:

TODO: Before you run your application, you need a Google Maps API key.

To get one, follow this link, follow the directions and press "Create" at the end:

https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_android_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE_ANDROID&r= YOUR SHA-1 + YOUR PACKAGE NAME

You can also add your credentials to an existing key, using this line:
YOUR SHA-1:YOUR PACKAGE NAME

Alternatively, follow the directions here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#get-key

Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key" string in this file.
<string name="google_maps_key" templateMergeStrategy="preserve" translatable="false">YOUR GOOGLE MAPS KEY</string>

To get YOUR GOOGLE MAPS KEY just cut and paste the URL link given into your browser and follow the instructions above at the time of creating the new application. The SHA-1 and Package names are already in the link given so you do not need to know them. They will however be in your project in the resources>Values>google_maps_api.xml file which is completed when you follow the instructions on creating the project.

Answer 45

The easiest way to get the finger print is to switch from app to signed report by clicking the drop down and click build.

Then you will be able to see the sha1 fingerprint at the bottom pane where you see the debug report and stack trace. N.B remember to switch back to app when you want to run your app on a device or an emulator.

Here is the full process to generate SHA-1 and MD5 key in latest - 2023 android studio.

Answer 52

I tried almost all the ways which were given by other developers, but it was not successful. I run :

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

Which is for Windows. But I got error message saying: 'keytool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Then I download JDK (Java Development Kit) for running this command. I updated my path also. Here is the steps how you can do that:

1. Open the System Properties window.

2. Click on the Advanced tab.

3. Click on the Environment Variables button.

4. In the System variable section, scroll down and find the PATH variable.

5. Click on the Edit button.

6. In the Edit environment variable dialog box, add the path to the keytool executable to the Value field. The path is usually something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-20\bin.

7. Click on the OK button to close the Edit environment variable dialog box.

8. Click on the OK button to close the Environment Variables dialog box.

9. Close the System Properties window. Then I run the same command:

   keytool -list -v
   -alias androiddebugkey -keystore %USERPROFILE%.android\debug.keystore This time I got another error message:

Finally I changed command to this :

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

This worked for me.
