Any difference between MD5 and SHA1 for getting MAP API?

Question

I am getting following results:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin>keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystor e "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.android\debug.keystore" -storepass a ndroid -keypass android androiddebugkey, May 27, 2011, PrivateKeyEntry, Certificate fingerprint (SHA1): "Some Code"

But after entering this in http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html for getting MAP API it is showing invalid fingerprint.

Can you please guide me is the fingerprint I have got is correct or not. Because I am getting it as SHA1 and not MD5. How can I get API key??

Answer 1

keytool -v -list -alias alias_name -keystore my-release-key.keystore

With JDK 1.7 installed, keytool outputs by default SHA1 fingerprint, not MD5. Adding -v option allows to see MD5 as well.

Please update the page with this info, many devs are having problems trying to get a maps key.
