For over a year now, Adobe has completely stopped the development of Flash Player on Android. However, it is still possible to install it from the official site. As a reminder, the Adobe Flash Player plugin is compatible from Android 4.0 up to Android 4.2.2.

When talking about compatibility, you should know that the Adobe Flash Player plugin will be compatible with one browser on any device, but may not be compatible with another on the same browser. For example, Flash Player is compatible with the stock browser on the Galaxy Nexus, while it is not at all compatible with the stock browser installed on the Galaxy S4.

Please note that installing this application is at your own risk, as it has not been updated since August 2012. In short, there may be security vulnerabilities.

Now, let’s proceed with the installation procedure:

  • First, open Settings, then Security
  • In the Device Administration section, simply check “Unknown sources” (*) (* so that the device accepts installation outside of Google Play)
  • Then download the plugin from the official Adobe site
  • Finally, install it directly on your device (*) (*if you can no longer find the app during download, restart the installation from the “Downloads” app or your File Manager)

Note: it is very likely that you will need to try several browsers before finding one that actually works on your smartphone (for example on Galaxy S4: the plugin does not work on the default browser, while it is effective on the default browser included with other devices). Last point: the Chrome browser is not compatible, regardless of the device.

If you have a device running a version of Android prior to Android 4.0, you can also install it from one of the available links on Adobe.
