how to sign a already compiled apk?

Question

hi its my first android project, i build my unsinged apk, i have no prior experience with certificates, follow tutorials from android developer page for signing my app, create a keystore using cmd keytool -genkey -v -keystore c:\users\anita\my-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

tried to signed app jarsigner -verbose -keystore my-release-key.keystore flying_birda.apk alias_name

jarsigner: certificate chain not found for (my alias_name). alias_name must reference a valid keystore key a private key and corresponding public key certificate chain.

i see a same problem Certificate chain not found

is it a problem that my keystore have only a public key? if yes

then anyone can help me ho to make a complete key entry with a private key.

i am working it from last 2 days

but did not solve my problem. how can I sign it properly outside eclipse or android studio? any help will be greatly appreciated

any particular reason why you don't want to sign it in android studio using your key store? — AndroidEnthusiast, Oct 03 '15 at 12:31
