Key Hash is on Facebook. Join Facebook to connect with Key Hash and others you may know. Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected.
I’m trying to obtain the key hash for integrating facebook into my Android app. But all over the net I can’t find the way to do it on MAC OS X
, only for Windows
.
If someone could light me with the proper way to obtain the key hash I’d really appreciate it.
Java Store updateIn a related note, the ' is still in beta. If you haven't heard of it before, the Java Store 'is an application storefront that provides an easy and secure way to discover Java applications for your desktop.' I don't know what they're doing for software licensing and license management, but I thought I'd mention this 'store' again here today. Software key generator source code.
Thank you!
Sorry, what key tool?
If you want to generate a Facebook App ID/Key, go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and create a Facebook app.
If you want the keytool that you can use to create certificates etc, that is included in the jre.
Explanation for how to deal with the keys and hash here:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/#android
I used following steps to generate a Key Hash for my app in facebook: (I am using Mac OSX 10.8)
Once you are in the “.android” directory, run the following command.
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore openssl sha1 -binary openssl base64
When it prompts you for a password, type android and hit Enter
Copy the value printed in the terminal that ends with an “=” and
paste it in the Key Hash field in Facebook. Then click the Save
Changes button.
Reference: Integrate Facebook logins in your Android app
Please follow below steps to find debug.keystore and generate key hash for android development at mac.
Open terminal
Type cd ~/.android and hit enter to go to .android directory
If you want to open .android directory in finder, type open . and hit enter. Then .android directory will be opened in finder where you can find debug.keystore. If you do not want to open .android directory and only want to generate key hash, then skip this point and follow #4.
In terminal where you are already in .android directory type
keytool -exportcert -alias alias_name -keystore sample_keystore.keystore openssl sha1 -binary openssl base64
and hit enter.
You are asked for password. Enter android as password and hit enter. Then you get key hash ending with “=”
Copy key hash,enter in your facebook app setting page and save changes.
Never did it on Mac before, but here are some advices: Driver whiz registration key generator free download.
1.You need OpenSSL. Install it. In Windows I just extract zip file, then copy three file include openssl.exe in bin folder to jdk’s bin folder (where keytool is), don’t know how it work on Mac.
2.Copy file keystore what you want to get key hash to jdk’s bin folder. My keystore is debug.keystore (because I’m still in test, I don’t want to use the main keystore).
3.Using command line to go to jdk’s bin folder (In Windows, I just Run -> cmd -> type cd %JAVA_HOME%)
4.Type this command:
keytool -exportcert -alias alias_name -keystore sample_keystore.keystore openssl sha1 -binary openssl base64
In my case (debug.keystore):
keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore openssl sha1 -binary openssl base64
then enter password for debug.keystore: android (without password, the key hash’s still generated and the same as with password, don’t know why).
You’ll get some string with “=” character at the end. Go to your app setting -> mobile -> fill that key hash (include “=”) to Android key hash.
(honestly, not an answer, just a note for all visitors having this or similar trouble)
There is a way to obtain a key hash without JDK and OpenSSL by using pure Java utility android-fb-keytool. You can checkout and build source code.
