What browser to use for flash video on an Android tablet?

Hello once agian fellas,

I just realized that I actually do have the Google Play app. Now I want to know which browser to use , and one which can play flash videos , for example videos on sites like putlocker.com and sockshare.com . If you know any , let me know , and please let me know if there are steps to enable the flash capabilities.

Thanks once again!

If you don't have Jelly Bean (Version 4.1+) of Android, you can just download Flash from the play store and have at it. They should just work as normal on any browser of your choosing, like the stock or Firefox.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer

You have to be running ICS or lower to use Flash on Android.

You can use flash on Jellybean devices (both 4.1 & 4.2) it's just not officially supported. It still runs just fine on most devices, a lot of the issues you see with it are due to poor design on the part of the content itself, not flash player.

It is provided as an .apk on Adobe's website and is available here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Direct Download of the latest version is this link: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.27/install_flash_player_ics.apk

You'll need to be able to install from non-play sources though (this option is in the security menu under the settings).

Yeah I forgot to mention that haha. I never said it wasn't possible, I just said if you had 4.0.4 and below, just install from the website and go.

Also, Flash is not on the google play store anymore based on Adobe's decision

Hey guys,

I just checked out my tablet info , and its running 4.0.3 , so I should be able to download the flash player straight from the Play store right? However , I already tried your link and searching in the app its self , however , the link returns by saying that It cant find the app, and on the store nothing comes up when I search for it.

What should I do?

Thanks.

Did you try Zbob's link? It should work. All you have to do, as he said, go to the security menu and check install from non-play (Market) sources.

This, DJ's method only works for existing installations, If you haven't used it in the past it won't show up anymore.

0	You can't download off the store anymore but if you download the apk and install it some browsers don't work such as chrome or dolphin. I use dolphin as my main then Firefox beta for flash usage answered Nov 21 '12 at 11:16 Urgebot1777 85●11●20●27
