            md.update(signature.toByteArray());
            key = new String(Base64.encode(md.digest(), 0));

            // String key = new String(Base64.encodeBytes(md.digest()));
            Log.e("Key Hash=", key);
        }
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e1) {
        Log.e("Name not found", e1.toString());
