Android... How can I change my APK key?

I erased my original APK file that I uploaded to the market. I created a new one, but the keys don't match. Is there a way I change the current key of the file I just exported to the key that the android market requires or do I have to republish the whole app?

Thank you.

What are you trying to do:

  1. Update with a new version an existing APK in the store
  2. Re upload a same version of the existing APK in the store
  3. Upload a new app to your store

In case its the option 1 or 2, you need to sign the APK with the EXACT SAME KEY you did before:

In case its the 3rd case, you can create a new key.

Always save the keys you use to sign yout APKs.
