Flash player for Android

Anonymous

Hi all - I have just upgraded from a HTC One X to HTC One - M8, it's great except that I am not able to view any videos in Facebook ?? I have looked into this and apparently Adobe no longer supports Flash player on Android (not sure whether it's mobile devices as a whole or just Android). I googled it and followed other people's suggestions to download various apps (Flashfox, Realplayer cloud, Puffin) but none of them have worked. It's really frustrating having to fire up the laptop just to view a minute long video clip!!! 

 

Has anybody else had this problem and found a solution ??  

 

Thanks in advance.

Nothing wrong with sideloading the .apk.
I have done it before when it was needed but no longer needed for me know.
It will slow the phone down, but flash always did that - partly the reason for it's demise in the first place.

I've never had any issues with the app?

No the app is fine but sometimes the constant updates can cause issues until the next update which will almost certainly be within the next 48 hours.

Flash is one of the most hideous, bug ridden, piles of crap ever invented.  The industry generally hates it and is moving away from it quickly now.  From a security and privacy viewpoint, just say "no!".

I get a large list from Adobe, blocking the screen on that link ( https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html ). Unable to close it.

 

There's an archived list of Flash apk's, at the bottom of this page...

I have version 11.1.115.81 (top one for android 4) installed on my devices.
Obviously ...use at your own risk 😉
