How to obtain Signing certificate fingerprint (SHA1) for OAuth 2.0 on Android?

I'm trying to register my android app following the steps in https://developers.google.com/console/help/#installed_applications which leads me to follow http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html.

However, I'm not sure how to get the signing certificate fingerprint (SHA1).

I first used the Eclipse ADT plugin to export and create the keystore/key. Then, I tried doing keytool -list keystore mykeystore.keystore and it gives me a MD5 Certificate fingerprint. Do I need to redo the signing (meaning I can't use the eclipse export wizard)?

Can I use a debug certificate first?

Start an export process to create an apk for your app and use your production key. The very last page displays both your SHA1 and MD5 certificate fingerprints enter image description here
