Hi:

I just received my new Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Honeycomb 3.1 yesterday. My primary reason for purchase was Flash compatiblity (I jumped ship from an iPad 1).

So, the first thing I did was install Flash player 10.3 - and then I went to the advanced tab of the in-built browser and clicked 'Always On' for 'Enable Plug-Ins" (why that isn't a defauly setting is beyond me). Anyway, my flash sites work - it is just that the images look a bit interpolated and pixelated. Is this something to do with the dpi of the device or player itself? Thanks.

If your AIR app was compiled with AIR 2.7 or lower it will only use 16-bit colors on Android 3.1 and higher. I think this is your problem.

I had this problem myself with the same tablet and it makes your app look crappy. The only way to fix this is, is to compile your app with Air 3.0.

Since the Adobe Air 3.0  runtime for Android is not available yet, you need to package the Air runtime in your app. You cant do this via Flash Builder so you have to compile via the command line. Google for "apk-captive-runtime" to find out how

I hope this solves your problem

Note that he wasn't talking about an app, he was talking about Flash in a browser.
