Subject: No Adobe Flash support for Eclair!?!
I kept reading about how one of the biggest news about eclair coming
out in 2010 is that  support for Flash 10 (or ANY Flash for that
matter) will be built into it.

This does not appear to be the case for the fact that I download all
the latest source code for Eclair, built and installed Eclair onto my
development phone over the Christmas break and to my surprise/
disappointment there is absolutely no support for Flash when I try to
view with the browser. I tried plugin's and searching for missing .apk
installs for Flash but I found nothing.

Unless I am missing something (i.e. maybe a side tree build for
flash?)  and if I did then I apologize but from what I can tell as of
now the Eclair build does and will not support flash.

If anyone knows ANYTHING on this topic on this please update for us.

Thank you

-Chris

Eclair, or Android 2.0, came out with the Motorola Droid at the end of 2009 :)

Do you know can you view Flash from the browser on Droid (vs a stand alone
flash player)?

If so do you know why the latest Eclair source build does not support Flash?
Maybe you have to add in a side build for the Flash libs? From what I
understand it is supposed to be built into Eclair.

Thank you for your response.

Subject: Re: No Adobe Flash support for Eclair!?!

Thank you  for the clarification it is greatly appreciated.
With so many different sources on the internet it is somewhat difficult to
know what is actually available and what isn't.

I got all excited after reading this article which said it is had been done
and is possible:
http://www.flashmobileblog.com/2009/08/12/flash-development-with-andr...

So all I was simply trying to do is create a WebView like he did (using
android.webkit.Webview) and view a .swf file with it.

But again like I stated before, after downloading the latest source code,
building it, flashing it to my development phone and flash still not working
I am having my doubts (and greatly wondering how this guy said it is
working).

Do you know if this is even somewhat possible (maybe a FlashLite plugin I am
missing or something?).

Or am just out of luck on this one.

Thank you

The article you cited talks about the HTC Hero.  HTC shipped some
Flash technology on the Hero as a proprietary extension to the base
Android platform (along with other proprietary changes such as their
Sense UI).  Android itself does not currently incorporate Flash
technology, nor does Adobe currently seem to offer Flash products as
downloadable plugins or applications for Android devices.

Ok. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Chris.
