Adobe Flash Player On Samsung Tab 10.1

[Docemar1]

I can't download adobe flash player on my tablet. It says my device doesn't support it. Does anyone know of a way around this? Many thanks

Tried that Alston, but adobe flash isn't there to download. Thought there might be some other software I could download that would make my tab support adobe.

And there was I thinking I had found an answer for you.:-)

Unfortunately, I am not into Tablets, Smart Phones, Androids etc. although I do recall having read somewhere that Adobe was going to 'pull the plug' on supporting Flash for Mobile Devices. I can only think that the firm has already done so.

I hope some other ABer will add to my comments.

Not sure if the following will work, as I don't have access to a Samsung Tab, but you could try these steps to attempt install of archived versions of Flash Player that may work for you:

- Make sure your Android device is connected to the Internet.
- Open the Settings menu.
- Select Security (or Applications, on older Android OSs).
- Place a check mark next to the "Unknown sources" check box.
- Tap OK to confirm your selection.
- Close Settings.
- Launch the browser.
- Goto http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.37/install_flash_player_ics.apk
(or you can also navigate directly to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions. html for other versions if the one above fails)

- Tap the link to download the Flash Player installer. Download begins automatically.
- When download completes, close the browser.
- Open Notifications.
- Tap "install_flash_player_ics.apk"
- When prompted, tap Install.
- When installation is finished, tap Done.

Hi, I had just this problem, and fixed it by accident! I downloaded a free game from the playstore called 'Isoball X1', and the first time I tried to play it, it asked, and then downloaded and installed flash player 11.1 (I think that was the version!) Anyway, I installed it, and can confirm it now plays flash videos and games I couldn't use before. Hope it works for you! ;-)
