Hi Dave, I am struggling to create a Signing Key for my android app, need your help urgently. I am a newbie. Kindly be patient with me.
I downloaded Java and JDK 1.8.0_31 to my laptop Windows 8. Right clicked on My Computer and followed this path: Properties->Advanced System Setting->Advanced Tab->Environment Variable. Here I did not find Java_Home existing there. So I selected an already existing variable 'Tmp' and edited it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31.
Now on Command Prompt when I use the command: $ keytool -genkey -v -keystore [keystore_name].keystore -alias [alias_name] -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 it returns the message '$' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Then I tried the command keytool -genkey -v -keystore [keystore_name].keystore -alias [alias_name] -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 and it returned a message: 'keytool' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am stuck here. Will you guide me please how to go further.
