[Unknown]: ------------

Is CN=mukesh, OU=zss, O=zss, L=delhi, ST=delhi, C=dl correct?

[no]: yes

Generating 2,048 bit RSA key pair and self-signed certificate 

(SHA1withRSA) with a validity of 15,000 days

        for: CN=CN, OU=OU, O=O, L=L, ST=ST, C=C

Enter key password for <aliasname>

        (RETURN if same as keystore password): ------------

Re-enter new password: ------------

[Storing projectkey.keystore]
C:\Mukesh\Android-Sdk\tools>keytool -list -alias aliasname -keystore projectkey.keystore
Enter keystore password:aliasname, Jul 22, 2012, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5):A2:69:37:23:5B:27:68:B0:B7:5E:C1:61:08:04:F8:C0

Step 2: Obtaining Google API key for Google Map:

                                            Using Certificate fingerprint(MD5) you can get your get your google 

API Key from this link:

                         http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html 

Finally you get this:

Your key is: 

0NmasjBqpEvFTVP4IugZrbssdsIKnwPH2qSpd8g

This key is good for all apps signed with your certificate whose fingerprint is:

A2:69:37:23:5B:27:68:B0:B7:5E:C1:61:08:04:F8:C0

Here is an example xml layout to get you started on your way to mapping glory:

              <com.google.android.maps.MapView

                 android:apiKey="0NmasjBqpEvFTVP4IugZrbssdsIKnwPH2qSpd8g"
                 />
