thank you

How can I get unsigned apk without eclipse? can I use the shell commond to export the unsigned apk file?

Actually refered it for signing my app and so i followed it and did it successfully.Then i realised that there is a simplest way provided by Eclipse IDE.

All you have to do is right click on your project then "Android Tools>Export Signed Application".
1. Now a wizrd opens and it asks the project name .its present by default.
2.click next.It will have two options create from existing keystore or Create a new one
3.select create a new one. now select the location where you want to save the keystore.
4. select your password and retype password again.



5.Now Fill the detais .A screenshot is provided to make it easy.
6.Now give path to where you want your signed application to be placed.
7.click finish and there is your signed android app.


If this was already posted .then my mistake. anyways if you didnt get anything kidly post.

@HAKR yes, i did the same. I found it pretty late, after searchin and digging man pages for keytools and jarsigner..
anyway, seems to work. now for deployment ^^

I also forgot to ask: Now that ive signed the application, from where do i find the certificate, so that i can obtain a Maps API key?

You haven't seen many questions here yet, I guess...

True that. Well I have made signing solutions for JAR signing and using Verisign-issued certs. I basically make the CSR using keytool, then send it to Verisign so that they can issue the cert and then import that certificate into the keystore, using keytool and the key alias. If you fail to include the Intermmediate CA or just plain do not have a certificate associated to your key.

This can be done using keytool -genkeypair switch, but most people forget to add the Distinguished Name lines. Example:

Code: Select all

keytool -genkey -alias Test -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -sigalg SHA1withRSA -keystore teststore.mks -dname "CN=Android Corporation,OU=Android,O=Anddev Org,L=Seattle,S=Washington,C=US"

And you can verify and extract the certificate later on. Sample command:

Code: Select all

keytool -list -keystore teststore.mks -storepass password -v

Thanks for this! It worked really well. I am just finishing up my first application that this is really useful.
