The Google Wallet API provides an Android SDK to make it easier for you to integrate
Google Wallet capabilities directly in your Android apps with native code.
To use the Google Wallet Android SDK, you must provide the package name of your
Android app, and the SHA-1 fingerprint of your app signing certificate. These credentials
are used to authorize publishing access for your app, and authenticate requests
sent by your app to the Google Wallet API.
1. Get the SHA-1 fingerprint of your signing certificate
To get the SHA-1 fingerprint of your signing certificate, follow the directions in the
Google Play services documentation for retrieving it using either of the following:
In the left nav, click 'Google Wallet API' to open the Google Wallet console.
Click the 'Additional features' tab.
In the 'App Permissions' box, click the '+ Add an app' button.
Enter the package name of your app and your SHA-1 fingerprint.
Click 'Add application'.
If your package name and app appear in the 'App Permissions' box, your app is authorized
to send requests to the Google Wallet API using the Google Wallet Android SDK.
