With that said, I still get a gray grid with locator pins for my google maps and nothing else (also, I have followed David's video to the T). So, after 3 days of working through this crazy process, I'm begining to wonder if the Certificate fingerprint (SHA1) may be at the ROOT of my problem? Evidently, the Java JDK1.7.0 gives a SHA1 fingerprint instead of a MD5 fingerprint... COULD this be what's causing the gray grid ~ lack-of-map problems for the universe? Please advise, please HELP! ============== Also, once I get this figured out & after updating the .apk, can anyone tell me how to upload a revised .apk file in the Google Android market? For some reason, when an update is attempted, the retorted message states, new .apk (1) already exist ...What's up with that?

CBreeze I hate code! Posts: 50 Reg: Nov 12, 2011 Anchorage 500	01/23/12 05:47 PM (14 years ago) I'm sorry, but I'm lost. How do I find the Keytool? My optimal goal is to find the MD5 Fingerprint so I can move forward with the Google Maps API Keys. The above mentioned link just says go to the keytool, but I don't know what that means.

CBreeze I hate code! Posts: 50 Reg: Nov 12, 2011 Anchorage 500	01/24/12 09:49 AM (14 years ago) Is it absolutely necessary that I have Google Maps? I don't remember that being a part of the first app I built.??? Comments Is it absolutely necessary that I have Google Maps? I don't remember that being a part of the first app I built.???

Cool. Comments Well, I finally found the pdf that explains the google maps API which has imbedded in it the directions for the md5 fingerprint. Cool.
