Re: Download Flash Player For Android Tablet
Rubie Mccloughan
It would be really awesome if you implemented some kind of flash player on the mobile Brave browser. There is a lot of video games, online casino games, and tons of other multimedia content that is only really available through a flash player enabled device. There are a few mobile browsers you can download that have this option usually when you toggle into desktop mode, but honestly those browsers are slow, choppy, unreliable, and overall rarely anyones first choice for your go to web browser. Brave could do the flash player integration properly and efficiently adding a very convenient and lacking element to the mobile browsing experience. If done the right way it would open up a whole lot of content that as of right now is only really accessible on a desktop computer or laptop and I know that is a high enough demand for flash player utilization through mobile devices be it smartphones or tablet. There gap keeps getting smaller between mobile devices and desktop or laptop computers and this is one of the functions that still separates the two. Offering an option for another multimedia player in a seamless operating version of a flash player that if used saw no decrease in browser functionality and didnt drop your connection from the server would add a very enticing aspect to Brave that essentially no other mobile browser offers at least on a legitimate capacity. I do almost all my browsing through mobile devices and run into a issue with needing flash player on a mobile browser very frequently and would love to see that get added to Brave.
My android app has a web browser component which is supposed to play flash content from the internet. I don't want to tell the users to separately download adobe flash to access flash content on my app. How can flash playing capability be added to my app? Thanks?
Honestly, you should rethink what you're serving up to mobile clients. All mobile platforms are no longer supported - Adobe has stopped development of Adobe Flash Android - as there are alternate ways to do what Flash used to accomplish.
Edit:This is a great introduction to the tag in HTML5. You will have to double check which formats are streamable to all devices. I believe MP3 should work in iOS and Android. -absolute.com/articles/introduction-to-the-html5-audio-tag-javascript-manipulation/
I bought this galaxy tablet for my daughters class work, all was fine until the screen asked that we could not continue without installing flash player. I looked at the list from Adobe and the tablet is listed to be a stable unit with flash player. When i try to download the flash player the Adobe website that my unit does not support Adobe flash.
I was able to get flash running on my galaxy tab. I can stream flash videos and play flash games on my browser. You have to sideload adobe flash first and then use a flash supported browser like firefox. This might help: -flash-galaxy-tab/
Update: Firefox for Android now includes supports for Flash content. You'll need the Adobe Flash plugin, which is no longer available in the app market, but you can still download it directly from Adobe. For details, see How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?
Hi mbrubeck - I know that HTML5 is supposed to be the way forward, but I'd like to echo brysil's thoughts. Android is becoming hugely popular and there's many web sites that will still use flash for their content for the next few years. Most of the sites I visit, for my job and for pleasure, use flash. Though the browser that comes with android already supports flash, I'd REALLY like to use Firefox as the snyc is great and it would make life so much easier. If you guys would pursue getting a flash plug-in, I think Firefox would soon become THE browser for Android.
Awe man, I was so excited when I discovered my favorite desktop browser was available for Android. My first thought was replacing Dolphin HD which I love but it is a bit slow. But with no Flash then it is almost no use for me. I guess I will stick with Dolphin as my default and the stock browser (both of which support flash on my EVO) for its quickness until Firefox gets a Flash plugin ready.
I just wanted to also show support for a future Flash support. I really like the Firefox mobile browser, but am unable to use it as my primary because of this limitation. Thanks for the answer, and I look forward to its support.
Very disappointing, I was set to make Firefox my default browser until I discovered that it does not support flash. I guess I will have to go back to Dolphin which does support it. You need to fix this quickly as there are still too many sites using Flash. Support for Flash was one of the reasons I did not opt for an iPhone and chose Android instead when I left Windows Mobile.
very very disappointing.... I think no one will use it if it does not support flash. Mozilla firefox is a very popular browser in PC but it is quite embarrassing the Android version lacks the Flash Supprt. Uninstalling it now.
I really don't mind not having flash on my mobile phone. I mean what's so bad about having to play videos in the youtube app. And then who needs flash games when we have the whole android market. As controlling as apple and wp7 are, they had a good reason for keeping flash off of their phones. It just makes everything laggy, and who wants those flash ads anyway?
very disappointing mozilla! I really love using firefox on my pc and mac and was excited to use it on my htc evo. i honestly might go back to using my native browser because it has flash capabilities. hello, how do you expect me to piss off all my buddies using iphones if I can't bring up a flash website? ;-)
What good is a browser without Flash these days. Just about everything has Flash content. Why even bother releasing stripped down more limited browser that's substandard to the included Browser app? I think someone jumped the gun a bit on this one.
Very, very disappointing. I have been anticipating the release of FF for Android on my Milestone for months and months and months. FINALLY Motorola releases Android 2.2 with Flash support, and Mozilla drops the ball on having Flash in the Android version of FF.
That's too bad. I was starting to think you guys were back in the game. You know, since there are so many other browsers that we can use that DO work with Flash. It was running so fast too! I guess I'll be heading back to Miren now. Or Dolphin. Or maybe the stock browser....
Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that it should be made clear to Android users not to download this if the Flash is not available. I downloaded it, and then removed it. I am sure that us Android users want to limit the amount of downloading and removal procedures on our phones, as it may mess up the registry. Thanks!
No, it won't mess up the registry, because there isn't one. Android is based on Linux, not Windows, so apps are self-contained. When you uninstall one, it's gone, save for any resources stored on the SD card.
Anyway, Opera Mobile also supports Flash, and the default behavior is click-to-load, so it sort of has a built-in ad blocker, too. I prefer its interface and user experience to Dolphin's, which feels kind of clunky to me.
It is now 7 Jan 2012 and STILL flash does not work on Firefox in Android!!!! Using Opera a lot now and going to check out DolphinFirfox has gone steeply downhill recently in other areas too - Bye Firefox.
A year ago it was Firefox 4 and they were 'working'on a flash solution. It is now Firefox 11 or so, a year later and still no Flash.I understand that there are security concerns with Flash but other browsers seem to cope so why not Firefox. If there are indeed security problems, then is not a company as big as Adobe not busy fixing them?17 Feb 2012
As the TV is running Android, and Adobe abandoned Flash on Android over a year ago, installing Flash is going to be difficult. You could find the last released APK (Android Package) for Flash, stick it on a USB stick and see if you can sideload it. To sideload an APK, you'll need something like ES File Explorer. See =-so_OA4W1PA for details.
I followed the instructions in the YouTube video below to gain administrator rights to the TV. I downloaded the ES File Explorer app on the TV via the Google play store) and I also downloaded the Flash Player APK of my computer and saved it to a memory stick. I plugged the memory stick into a port on my TV and installed the APK through ES File Explorer, but still no luck! The web browser on the TV does not use the Flash Player app.
So, plan B ... the Google Chrome route. I went to the Google Chrome app page, via the browser on my computer, logged into my Google account and installed the app to my TV - "No carrier Sony BRAVIA 4K 2015". Google Chrome will not feature as an app on your TV directly. If you open ES File Explorer you can access ALL apps on your TV including Google Chrome. The rest is easy - I went to the MotoGP web page and logged onto my account and I am watching MotGP footage as we speak
hi, how did you download the google chrome onto the Sony Bravia TV, can you please explain step by step. When i try to download google chrome on to my laptop after i sign in on google, it says that it is already installed. Can you please help me as i need to be able to watch sports
To watch sports legally in the UK, you need a subscription to one of the satellite or cable providers which they also provide you a box to connect to the TV with. Alternatively there is NowTV, which if you dont have the app on one of your devices, you can purchase a box to stream sports content for about 15 + subscription.
thanks, but my question really was that how do you install flash player. one of the method suggested is to install google chrome on to the tv. one of the poster has managed to do it so i wanted to know how. I will appreciate if someone can guide.
That is not strictly true, you do not need a subscription with either a satallite or cable provider to watch sport legally! To watch Moto GP I have a subscription with MotoGP.com which gives me access to the MotoGP on any device including my Android TV via Google Chrome.
