    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player, since June 2012. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

      That's an old article (May 2010) and it was written when Android still worked with Flash Player. There are some folks who still have a device running Android 1 or 2 that it applies for, so it's still up. For 3 or 4, you need one of the server side browsers, since Google has blocked access in Android OS to Flash Player for them.
