I have shifted myself from Eclipse to Android Studio. Now I am trying to work on my Map app. So I need my SHA-1 fingerprint certificate number.
When I was using Eclipse it was right under Windows -> Preferences -> Android -> Build. But in Android Studio I couldn't find out any option like this so that I could find easily the fingerprint. I am using Windows. I have read from this link that:
Android Studio signs your app in debug mode automatically when you run or debug your project from the IDE.
So I tried to run this in command line after setting my Java bin path from this link and unfortunately couldn't find my fingerprint. It is saying that it is an illegal option.
keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass androidIs there a way to find the SHA-1 fingerprint from Android Studio like it was very easy in Eclipse? As I am newbie in Android Studio, what is the full process to find it?
Another thing I want to add is that I have my Eclipse generates the SHA-1 fingerprint and previously I have my app registered on that fingerprint in Google developer console, and I worked on that app in Eclipse by that API key. Is the same API key can be worked on this my project in Android Studio?

Check this – Naeem Ibrahim Nov 16 '16 at 6:21 add a commentEasiest ways ever:
There are two ways to do this.
1. Faster way:
Open Android Studio Open your Project Click on Gradle (From Right Side Panel, you will see Gradle Bar) Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar, you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project) Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List (root)) Click on Tasks Click on Android Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Run Bar(Sometimes it will be in Gradle Console)) Select app module from module selection dropdown to run or debug your applicationCheck the screenshot below:
2. Work with Google Maps Activity:
Open Android Studio Open Your Project Click on File menu -> Select New -> Click on Google -> Select Google Maps Activity A dialog would appear -> Click on Finish Android Studio would automatically generate an XML file named with google_maps_api.xml You would get debug SHA1 key here (at line number 10 of the XML file)Check Screenshot below:
There is an issue with Execution.
Solution:
Click on Toggle tasks execution/text mode from Run barCheck Screenshot below:
Done.

I have solved my problem by following this:
Go to your Java bin directory via the command:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71\bin>Now type in the below command in your command window (CMD.EXE):
keytool -list -v -keystore c:\users\your_user_name\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass androidExample:
keytool -list -v -keystore c:\users\James\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass androidOr you can just write this in cmd if you don't know the username:
keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass androidAnd you will get the SHA1.
Then I created a new key from https://code.google.com/apis/console because of my package name got changed and then use this key in my application. It works fine.
Make sure you are in BIN folder of jdkX.X.X_XX (my folder name is jdk1.7.0_71), or else if you don't know what folder name you have then find it by opening the Java folder, and you will see what the folder name is, but you must be in your BIN folder and then run this command. Today I have got my SHA1 value in a cmd command window by the above procedure.

I just found the case to get SHA-1 in Android Studio:
Click on your package and choose New -> Google -> Google Maps Activity Android Studio redirects you to google_maps_api.xmlAnd you will see all you need to get google_maps_key.

[Updated 2017]
Step 1: On Top Right side of Android Studio Click On Gradle option.
Step 2:
-- Click on Refresh (Click on Refresh from Gradle Bar, you will see List Gradle scripts of your Project)
-- Click on Your Project (Your Project Name form List (root))
-- Click on Tasks
-- Click on Android
-- Double Click on signingReport (You will get SHA1 and MD5 in Gradle Console/Run Bar)
Step 3: Click on the Gradle Console option present bottom of Android Studio to see your SHA1 Key.
Step 4: Now you got the SHA key but you can't run your project.That is why Change your configuration to app mode. See image below.
Like this.
Step 5: Happy Coding!!

Build --> Generate Signed APK...
Create keystore with password and follow the steps
Go to your Mac/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_20.jdk/Contents/Home/bin and drag the bin folder to the terminal after cd command to point at it so you can use the keytool tool. So, in terminal write cd (drag bin here) then press enter.
Then, copy and paste this in the terminal:
keytool -exportcert -alias Your_keystore_AliasName -keystore /Users/Home/Development/AndroidStudioProjects/YoutubeApp/app/YoutubeApp_keystore.jks -list -vErase my path and go where you stored your keystore and drag your keystone and drop it after -keystore in the command line so the path will get created.
Also, erase Your_keystore_AliaseName to put your alias keystone name that you used when you created it.
Press Enter and enter the password :)
When you enter the password, the terminal won't show that it receives keyboard entries, but it actually does, so put the password and press Enter even if you don't see the password is typed out.

If you are using Android Studio, you can get the SHA-1 and MD5 certificate fingerprint (debug, release... all Build Types!!) fast through Gradle Tasks:
signingReport
The SHA-1 and MD5 certificates are shown in Messages Logs.
Android Plugin (configured in the Gradle app) creates a debug mode for default.
com.android.application
File route to keystore:
HOME/.android/debug.keystoreI recommend to attach debug.keystore to build.gradle. To do this put a file, debug.keystore, in an app folder and then Add SigningConfigs in Gradle app:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { ................ signingConfigs { debug { storeFile file("../app/debug.keystore") storePassword "android" keyAlias "androiddebugkey" keyPassword "android" } release { storeFile file("../app/debug.keystore") storePassword "android" keyAlias "androiddebugkey" keyPassword "android" } } ........ }Extra: If you want creates for release, put a file, release.keystore, in an app folder. (This example uses the same debug.keystore.)

Alternatively, follow the directions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#get-key
Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key" string in this file. <string name="google_maps_key" templateMergeStrategy="preserve" translatable="false">YOUR GOOGLE MAPS KEY</string>
To get YOUR GOOGLE MAPS KEY just cut and paste the URL link given into your browser and follow the instructions above at the time of creating the new application.
