Android on Eclipse 101: Google MapView

I was right after the “Hello World” on google maps. So in order to get MapView, you will need to first have your application target Google API 1.5. Then you would abtain a google maps API for your android application:

1.  Generating MD5 Fingerprint of the SDK Debug Certificate . This is under Windows XP:

cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin

keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Documents and Settings\qmh684\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

I got something like:

androiddebugkey, May 18, 2009, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 94:1E:43:49:87:73:BB:E6:A6:88:D7:20:F1:8E:B5:98

Then I go to here:

to get the api key.
