I am trying to make an app that can communicate with Google Cloud Messaging. I have looked at some tutorials and read a lot of stuff, but it all skips one point. When configuring an Android Key for API Project it asks for a SHA1 certificate fingerprint.
How do I find this (I have eclipse and windows 7)?
Any help would be appreciated.

This article at Wikipedia explains what a SHA1 Fingerprint is. In a nutshell it is a unique way to identify the connection that is being made to avoid any sort of possible incorrect connection, or additional security to ensure the connection is being made to the expected server.
So, to get the SHA1 value from a production Keystore go to: Android Tools -> Export Signed Application Package . Follow the process for signing your apk and the SHA1 will showed as a certificate.
Click the “Security” icon/tab at the top of the “Page Info” dialog. Click “View Certificate”. Verify that the certificate's name under “Common Name (CN)” exactly matches what this GRC page shows. The SHA1 fingerprint is shown under “Fingerprints”.
Here is how to get it :
In Eclipse, if you go to Windows ->Preferences -> Android -> Build.
