An Update on Flash Player and Android
We announced last November that we are focusing our work with Flash on PC browsing and mobile apps packaged with Adobe AIR, and will be discontinuing our development of the Flash Player for mobile browsers. This post provides an update on what this means for ongoing access to the Flash Player browser plugin for Android in the Google Play Store.
The Flash Player browser plugin integrates tightly with a deviceâs browser and multimedia subsystems (in ways that typical apps do not), and this necessitates integration by our device ecosystem partners. To ensure that the Flash Player provides the best possible experience for users, our partner program requires certification of each Flash Player implementation. Certification includes extensive testing to ensure web content works as expected, and that the Flash Player provides a good user experience. Certified devices typically include the Flash Player pre-loaded at the factory or as part of a system update.
Devices that donât have the Flash Player provided by the manufacturer typically are uncertified, meaning the manufacturer has not completed the certification testing requirements. In many cases users of uncertified devices have been able to download the Flash Player from the Google Play Store, and in most cases it worked. However, with Android 4.1 this is no longer going to be the case, as we have not continued developing and testing Flash Player for this new version of Android and its available browser options. There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1.
Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.
The easiest way to ensure ongoing access to Flash Player on Android 4.0 or earlier devices is to use certified devices and ensure that the Flash Player is either pre-installed by the manufacturer or installed from Google Play Store before August 15th. If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1.
For developers who need ongoing access to released versions of Flash Player for Android, those will remain available in the archive of released Flash Player versions. Installations made from the archive will not receive updates through the Google Play Store.
As always this and other Flash runtime roadmap updates can be found in the Adobe roadmap for the Flash runtimes white paper.
If you are using the mobile browser with Flash for video playback, please see our blog post here about various options available to help with this change.
Ok, dumb question. I just got a smartphone. Will it break in my back pocket?
Q. It's my first ever cellphone so I don't know these things. It's a biggish one, a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. I have the protective gel case on it and all, and at the moment it's in my front jeans pocket. It would be a lot more convenient in the back pocket. And I don't think I'll butt-dial anybody, it would be too many steps for it. But if I sit down, especially on a hard chair, will it be damaged?
Dumb question, I know.
A. You may want to get a rigid case instead. I have an Incipio which is very solid. With a gel case and if you sit on concrete stairs I 'd be a bit nervous.
My galaxy exhibit phone wont turn on?
Q. it will get to the lodeing screen and turn off help!!!
A. This could be a boot loop. If your battery is definitely all the way charged, try using a different battery as these devices are known for some battery issues. If that doesn't work, try connecting with Samsung Kies or using Google's ADB system to your computer. If nothing shows up, what you have is a bricked phone. There are resources on Rootzwiki, XDA, and AndroidForums that could help you recover your device if that's the case, but definitely try a different battery first.
