Android Signing application on Windows

Question

I am trying to Sign up APK to upload it on to the Play Store Market. I am following the steps underlined here

I am getting the following error

enter image description here

When i try to Sign the Application using Eclipse project->Android Tools->Export Signed Application Package.

enter image description here

write `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin\my-relea se-key.keystore` in `""`. like `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin\my-relea se-key.keystore"` — Mohsin Naeem, Jan 18 '13 at 06:53
Why not use Android Tools -> Export Signed Application Package? It does the same anyway. But a lot easier. — Siddharth Lele, Jan 18 '13 at 06:54

Copy your keystore file to a directory which has no spaces. Your current path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin\my-release-key.keystore which contains the directory Program Files (x86) with spaces. JarSigner cannot identify directories with spaces.

how can i do it in another director ? does copying just the jarsigner outside work ? – Harsha M V Jan 18 '13 at 07:26
no just copy the .keystore file to another directory. eg. C:\Keystore\my-release-key.keystore – Rajitha Siriwardena Jan 18 '13 at 07:35
i put the keystore in the same folder i am getting the following error - jarsigner: unable to open jar file: Nomad.apk – Harsha M V Jan 18 '13 at 07:39
is Nomad.apk in the directory where jarsigner is located? i.e C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin – Rajitha Siriwardena Jan 18 '13 at 07:41
am sorry i pasted the wrong error. i have updated the question with the screenshot i am not able copy paste it here – Harsha M V Jan 18 '13 at 07:52
did you use the .apk file located in the bin folder of your project? Try exporting the apk by right clicking the project in the Package Explorer Adroid Tools > Export Unsigned Application Package – Rajitha Siriwardena Jan 18 '13 at 08:05
I did that as well. same problem when trying to jarsign it – Harsha M V Jan 18 '13 at 08:14

You don't need to do it with commands. In Eclipse, right click on your project->Android Tools->Export Signed Application Package.

Follow the wizard and you will have an signed apk without pain.

Edit:

After a quick search about the new error, this thread seems to contain possible fix for you. At instance, please try to clean your project and build it again. If it does not fix your problem, also try the fix mentioned in the link.
