copied!<p>So, thanks to a series of quick participation at <a href="http://goo.gl/b7slO" rel="nofollow">StackOverflow.com</a> and at <a href="http://goo.gl/FFYHp" rel="nofollow">Android-Developer-googleGroup</a>, now the solution is clear..... let me give a rundown of how I resolved it, <strong>in case any of you are having a similar problem</strong>.</p> <p>my android developer <strong>debug.keystore</strong> file is in the following location in my linux</p> <pre><code>~/.android/debug.keystore </code></pre> <p>then i <code>cd ~</code> and followed the steps as mentioned in the Google Projects for Android page for <a href="http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/mapkey.html#getdebugfingerprint" rel="nofollow">Obtaining a Maps API Key</a> to get the md5 fingerprint of my debug.keystore</p> <pre><code>rakib@rakib-laptop:~$ \ > keytool \ > -list \ > -alias androiddebugkey \ > -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore \ > -storepass android \ > -keypass android </code></pre> <p>but it returned a stupid frustrating error</p> <pre><code>list: unrecognized option '-keypass' list: Try 'list -help' for more information </code></pre> <p>and that's when i started all the forums and discussions etc. but didn't find the right solution. After several forum posts, I figured that my simple call to <strong>keytool</strong> is referring to <strong><em>an unwanted keytool - a keytool that appears to be from the GNU Compiler for Java. Android rather requires the keytool from Sun/Oracle Java</em></strong></p> <p>Hence, i did the following to find out all the instance of different keytool programs that i have in my linux system.</p> <pre><code>rakib@rakib-laptop:~$ locate keytool </code></pre> <p>and it gave me the following list</p> <pre><code>/etc/alternatives/keytool /etc/alternatives/keytool.1.gz /home/rakib/java-WTK-2.5.2/bin/mekeytool /usr/bin/gkeytool-4.4 /usr/bin/keytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/bin/keytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/jre/bin/keytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/man/man1/keytool.1.gz /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/bin/keytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre/bin/keytool /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre/man/ja/man1/keytool.1.gz /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre/man/man1/keytool.1.gz /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/man/ja/man1/keytool.1.gz /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/man/man1/keytool.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gkeytool-4.4.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/keytool.1.gz /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/keytool </code></pre> <p>Bingo!!! so many keytool instances have been located. now I need to use the one in Java-6-sun JRE. So, <strong><em>cd</em></strong> to that directory as found from the <strong>locate keytool</strong> command above</p> <pre><code>rakib@rakib-laptop:~$ cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre/bin/ </code></pre> <p>now that the terminal is inside the <strong><em>java-6-sun/jre/bin</em></strong> directory, i typed the following command - remember that my debug.keystore file was in <strong>~/.android/debug.keystore</strong> ?</p> <pre><code>rakib@rakib-laptop:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre/bin$ \ > ./keytool \ > -list -alias androiddebugkey \ > -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore \ > -storepass android \ > -keypass android </code></pre> <p>and voila..... that returned the MD5 fingerprint of my android debug certificate that i was looking for.</p> <pre><code>androiddebugkey, Mar 19, 2011, PrivateKeyEntry, Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 08:A6:77:9C:97:66:CA:00:B9:6B:82:6B:37:64:B8:14 </code></pre> <p>Notice that when i was typing keytool command from the java-6-sun/jre/bin folder, you <strong>must not write JUST "keytool"</strong>. you <strong>must instead write "./keytool"</strong> - with a period and a slash to imply that you are referring to the keytool inside <strong>the current directory</strong> where the terminal is.</p> <pre><code>rakib@rakib-laptop:~$ WooooooHooooooooooooooo!!!!! </code></pre> <p><em><strong>PostNote:</em></strong> this problem of executing the wrong keytool was happening because my java-6-sun JRE was not the <strong>default java environment</strong> in my ubuntu. rather my GNU java compiler was set as the default java environment. in order to change the default Java environment in your linux machine, see the <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu Community Help for Java</a></p>
