the following should work for u... include even the inverted quotes.... remove spaces using the notepad etc., and paste it in the cmd prompt... good luck

"C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_07binkeytool.exe -list -alias androiddebu
gkey -keystore "C:Documents and SettingsNithinLocal SettingsApplication DataAndroiddebug.keystore" - storepass android -keypass android

Hi zmeda,

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}

xml
-----
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:apiKey="0QTYhfJNb0lyJNV8IZjGlOtg_5BPB"
/>

and in manifest , give these permissions--------

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />


I hope this will help..
