Re: Help to play Flash animation in Samsung Tab3 Webview (Android 4.2.2)

[Sankha Narayan Guria]

Hi,

The Adobe Flash Player is not currently supported by Adobe on these
devices, so getting help for these could be difficult.

You should try to use Shumway (https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/) to play
your flash videos, as it is pure JS and so will run on any browser. That
would be the future proof way to do it.

Thanks,

Hi Sankha, Thank you for replying.

I tried shumway but the performance is very bad in mobile devices.

Currently we have a workaround for the 'black background issue'. We reduced
the size of the webview to match that of the flash animation, this will get
rid of the black background.
