Access denied when creating keystore for Android app

Question

I am trying to sign my Android app so I can release it in Market. When I generate the keystore, I get an access denied error. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

The keystore that the Android SDK needs access to is not the same of the JDK. You can simply use the "create new keystore" option of the Android wizard and choose any folder you have write access to: the wizard will create there a new keystore. You don't need to use keytool form JDK.
