im not sure my doubt is out of league, but i hope to find an answer. that'swhy im posting such a question here.

i am developing a website in which an user uploads a swf file and download it as apk(android format). i am using adobe flash player to display the swf on webview of devices. it seems to be working on samsung s4 devices in india but it is not working on samsung s4(with same kernel version and os verion. and it is a locked device) in US. always the flashplayer opens and when the user tries to interact with the swf game, it crashes. so can anyone help me out to find the issue?

    Hello,

    Flash Player is not supported on mobile devices.  With that said, you can manually install old versions of Flash Player, or use a browser such as Dolphin that can play Flash content.  This FAQ provides more information: "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)

    hey maria,

    appreciate your explanation. you were right, the flashplayer is inbuilt in that apk along with the swf file. so when ever some one runs the apk, it installs both apk and adobe flash player on mobile device just like any app. it seems to be working in almost all devices except s3 ans s4 in US. using my web application any user can convert a swf to apk and this apk runs on a android device and works fine. but problem comes with s3 and s4 only(as i mentioned the devices from US only. s3 and s4 in India are working fine). that is where i stuck.
