debug.keystore does not exist

Question

I'm trying to generate an MD5 fingerprint but the problem is that everytime i try typing in the whole code, it says debug.keystore does not exist. I've seem multiple different threads on the same thing but none of them seemed to really help my issue.

What i type in is

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01\bin>keytool -v -list -alias
androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android

Can sombody please help me debug this problem? thank you.

Answer 1

If you are using Eclipse you can find the location of your debug keystore with:

Window > Preferences> Android > Click the triangle on left of "Android"to open the sub menu > Build

This will tell you location of your debug keystore and let you set a custom debug keystore.

Fortunatelly there is a new Eclipse plugin for that.

• Press Help > Install New Software.
• Press Add.
• Type a name for your tool, I named it keytool.
• For the location paste the following link: http://keytool.sourceforge.net/update

Then check the Keytool and press Next and then Install

It will ask you if you trust this certificate. Press Ok.

When it is installed eclipse will restart and then you will see a new button on your toolbar, called Keytool (it will have a key icon). Press it, fill in your name, password etc. and it will give you your md5 Fingerprint. It worked for me.
