If you're unsure what this stuff means, or not sure how to do it, I would start with Google. Maybe search - Google Maps API Key - or Facebook API key so you can get an understanding of what all this means. It's not possible to answer you question with a few sentances.

sentprak5 I hate code! Posts: 2 Reg: Jan 20, 2011 Redlands, CA 20	01/20/11 08:05 PM (15 years ago) I am using a PC and Eclipse. I googled it and it seems I have to generate MD5 fingerprint to sign up and receive Google maps API. I tried this code from the google help to retrieve MD5. keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey \ -keystore .keystore \ -storepass android -keypass android I did give in the path name for debug.keystore, in the above code. I found the path name in Eclipse: windows>preferences>android>build When I executed the above code in command line (eclipse), the result was 'access denied'. Then, I removed the ' -storepass ' code line and tried again and now the result was the keystore file not found. Am I missing something? What do I do? My search to grab API key in facebook> I ended up here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile#web It seems I have to register my application to get application ID and secret. The registration requires a site name and URL. What is the site URL that I have to provide for my android application created through Buzztouch? After I receive (assuming) the Facebook API, is it enough to just plug in the key at res/values/strings.xml file Or do I have to add in additional codes as instructed in the above mentioned facebook developers page ?

Do a search for map in the forums. There was a guy who had the same problem as you on a PC. I have a Mac and it took me a few days to figure it out so don't feel bad. Just keep at it. You'll figure it out. The key is getting the path correct. Comments I wish I could tell you exactly what to do but unfortunately it's not that easy when we don't know unix.
