Adobe Flash Player not supported by Android 4.0x

[jrh4054]

I use apps and and visit websites that require the Adobe Flash player and no other.  Does anyone have any ideas for getting around this problem?

tell those websites to upgrade to HTML 5. Oh and you can blame Steve Jobs for this.

This is a very frustrating problem and limits access to basic programs.  Evidently you should take this into consideration when purchasing an Android format because no one seems to be offering a solution to it!

Nobody has a solution because ADOBE THEMSELVES, the creators of Flash, abandoned Flash Mobile on 4.0+

The work around for this is very simple.

1) go to Adobe's site and download Flash on your phone

2) download and install Dolphin Browser

3) begin using Dolphin as your  browser and flash movies etc... will play.

The issue here is not that JB does NOT support Flash, it is the browsers do not support Flash since Adobe stopped supporting flash in the mobile arena. Dolphin still supports flash and it works just fine on Jellybean phones.

Or "borrow" the apk file from another JB/ICS device that had flash on it from ICS and the last update of the flash player.

Worked on my Nexus to Tbolt to Asus tablet.

Because Flash Player isn't supported, you can't download it even from the Adobe website.  Any other ideas?

Yes you can. Here is the latest version for 4.0 and up.
