Flash player wont work on android anymore

[cableguy1990]

I noticed this morning that chrome is no longer supporting flash on android devices. It tells me the same thing FireFox for android does that you need to update your browser and or flash plugin. I went ahead and checked updates for chrome and was fully updated. After that decided to uninstall and re-install the updates for it as well restarting my phone and still no luck. Checked adobe and says there hasn't been any mobile updates for flash since December. So was just hoping that this is just a temporary issue they are working to resolve? Checked on iPhone and chrome still seemed to work correctly with flash, was just android. I use a Galaxy S4 and had a friend of mine who also has another droid phone try and was the same issue for him. I've been using android phones for years and didn't change anything on my phone and the issue just appeared today.

The details on why Adobe dropped support for Android are here, but yeah, we haven't released an Android Flash Player since late 2012.

There are a few alternatives that you can use to get Flash on your phone.  They're mostly cloud-based web browsers, where they run Flash in the cloud and stream the content down to your phone.  It works surprisingly well.

A cursory Google search for "Android Browser Flash Player" turns up these options:
