Solved mine too in Android Studio but with slight different approach   To get the SHA-1 value in Android Studio    Click Gradle Click Signing Report Copy SHA-1      SHA-1 value look like this CD A1 EA A3 5C 5C 68 FB FA 0A 6B E5 5A 72 64 DD 26 8D 44 84  and open http   tomeko net online tools hex to base64 php to convert your SHA1 value to base64  This is what Facebook requires get the generated hash                           and copy the key hash to the facebook app console    Part of this answer taken from here Github Link

There are two methods available complex one and the easy one  Methods One   little Complex   first of all you have to download ssl 64bit or 32bit accordingly  remember to download the file with name containing e after version code openssl-0 9 8e X64 zip OR openssl-0 9 8e WIN32 zip not with the k after the version code   and place in AndroidStudio jre bin directory  if you dont know where to place  you can find this directory by right clicking on the android studio shortcut as     now you have managed two required things in one place  but still you have to find the path for your debug keystore  that is always can be found in the  C  Users yourusernamehere  android debug keystore        NOTE  If your app is published already  or about to publish then use your publishing signing keystore  if and only if your are testing   in development mode than you can use debug keysotre   As everything is setup  let arrange the command you wanted to execute for the hash key generation in base64 format  and you command will look like this  keytool exe -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore  C  Users ayyaz talat  android debug keystore     D  Program Files Android Android Studio jre bin openssl bin openssl exe  sha1 -binary   D  Program Files Android Android Studio jre bin openssl bin openssl exe  base64   it will promt you to enter a password for the debug keystore  which is android by default  if you are using your own key than the password will be also yours  the output will look like this if everything goes well as expected  hope it may help    Second Method  Respectively easy one   if you dont want to go throught all the above procedure  then just use the following method to log the haskey    private void printKeyHash             try               PackageInfo info   getPackageManager   getPackageInfo getPackageName    PackageManager GET SIGNATURES               for  Signature signature   info signatures                    MessageDigest md   MessageDigest getInstance  SHA1                    md update signature toByteArray                     Log d  KeyHash    Base64 encodeToString md digest    Base64 DEFAULT                            catch  PackageManager NameNotFoundException e                Log e  KeyHash    e toString               catch  NoSuchAlgorithmException e                Log e  KeyHash    e toString                       output

I just made a tool for that exact purpose i e   https   keyhash vaibhavpandey com   It is simpler than anything else as it requires you browse the keystore on your computer and enter the passphrase to generate both SHA-1 Hex and Base64 versions for Google  amp  Facebook respectively  Don t worry about the keystore or passphrase as the job is done completely in-browser  you can inspect the network tab and the tool is open-source too at https   github com vaibhavpandeyvpz keyhash

The best approach is to use the following code   private void getHashKey String pkgName        try               PackageInfo info   getPackageManager   getPackageInfo pkgName  PackageManager GET SIGNATURES           for  Signature signature   info signatures                        MessageDigest md   MessageDigest getInstance  SHA                md update signature toByteArray                 String hashKey   Base64 encodeBytes md digest                  hashKey et setText hashKey               Log i  KeyTool   pkgName     - gt  hashKey       hashKey                       catch  NameNotFoundException e                e printStackTrace              catch  NoSuchAlgorithmException e                e printStackTrace              But I was so frustrating with the fact that there is no simple tool to generate the HashKey for the Facebook app  Each time I had to play with Openssl and Keytool or to use a code to get the hash from signature      So I wrote a simple KeyGenTool that will do that work for you  -  KeyGenTool on Google Play  lt -  Enjoy

download openSSL for windows in here you can find 64bit and 32bit here extract the downloaded file create folder name openSSL in C drive copy all the extracted items in to openSSL folder  bin include lib openssl cnf  get android debug keystore  default location will be       C  Users username  android debug keystore    now get your command prompt and paste this code       keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C  Users username android debug keystore    C  openSSL bin openssl  sha1 -binary    C  openSSL bin openssl  base64    hit enter and you will get the 28 digit keycode
