NO Android device is supported by Flash Player (actually it's vice-versa: Android dropped ALL Flash support last year) anymore. If the device was manufactured prior to June 2012, Flash Player 10.2 can still be loaded, but it's not able to access content that requires Flash Player 11.

You need to use "Dolphin" as your browser to access Flash Content with an Android device these days.

I think it is possible to install flashplayer 11.1 from the archives http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_versions Last version available http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_... I have this version installed on my GS3 running Android 4.1 Works with Firefox , Dolphin, and the "Stock" android browser. Not working on Chrome though. Would be nice to know if you can install it. Good Luck.

fB3 is correct. I was able to get flash on my Note 3 by sideloading the last supported version. Here's the tutorial I used: http://flashnote3.com/

No, I think android device doesn't support flash player. So galaxy Note 3 is unable to suppoer flash player.

Android no longer supports Flash Player.

While "sideloading" is endorsed BY USERS, it is neither supported nor endorsed by Adobe or Android. Additionally, you can void your warranty by sideloading certain apps. I don't know if Flash is one of those apps.

I feel pretty badly for you. As a web designer, I know that HTML5 (HyperText Markup Language version 5) is a standard for the design compliance of the code in web pages, and NOT a player. There is no such thing as user installable "HTML5 player code", as you describe it. Either a browser is standards compliant, or it isn't. You can't just put a plug-in into it and make it do something the engine is incapable of.

No, I wasnt implying you install some app or anything, if any webpage you visit is used as a HTML5 player then android should be able to play the video. I have had great sucess with HTML5, Code such as:

<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>HTML5 with Video</title>  </head> <body>  <video width="500" height="325" poster="Your_poster_image.jpg" controls>  <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.ogv" type="video/ogg"> <source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4"> NOTE: If you see this, you're using an outdated browser that doesn't support the video tag. </video>  </body> </html>

"if any webpage you visit is used as a HTML5 player then android should be able to play the video."

Well, yes. THAT was the main idea behind HTML5. In 2010, the W3C saw that the number of smartphone users would soon be more than 50% of all web users and they upgraded the standards to meet that challenge.

The last time I uploaded ANYTHING Flash, other than a demo to show why I don't use it anymore, was January 2011. Since then, it's all been HTML5. YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, and most all of the news sites have made the transition, but since web standards are tough to enforce, (they put them out there and it's up to web designers to comply - no penalty other than lost viewership if you don't) only the major sites will get fully onboard in a timely manner, and YouTube only did the switch last summer. Facebook is still implementing it, with no timetable on completion.

Go to Settings and allow 3rd party apps to install.

Then download the Flashplayer.

I have the Samsumng Galaxy Note 8" model and I watch shows from youtube to Amazon that use flash.

You will also need to use the Dolphin browser which allows you to change the "User agent" to mimic a desktop browser. (Amazon won't work otherwise)

Link has screenshots and links to the Flashplayer and the Dolphin browser.

You can also use Firefox and Google Chrome but need to change the user agent.

Here is a link if for Firefox on a desktop pc if you want to tether your phone but T-Mobile or some other carrier does not want you to. I did not locate one for the tablet version.
