Unable to Get Flash Player Working Nexus 10 KIT KAT
I connected my PC to my Nexus 10.
I downloaded Flash_ player_ 11.1.102.59.apk and also install_ flash_ player_ics (10).apk to my PC
I used my PC to move these 2 files to my DOWNLOAD folder on the Nexus 10
I used an Android File app to see the contents of my download folder[on Nexus]
I clicked on Flash_ player_ 11.1.102.59.apk on my NEXUS-IT DID NOT INSTALL
I then clicked on install_ flash_ player_ics (10).apk IT APPEARED TO INSTALL NORMALLY however when I clicked on OPEN label on bottom of the install panel, I showed a dark screen with an object in the center that was labeled I needed to install a plug in to view the object.
At that point I assumed that FLASH had not installed.
So after I installed flash, I ran Firefox.
Because the Instructions said I needed to set up PLUG INS
I touched the 3 dots to get a menu.
It gave me several choices including SETTINGS
I selected SETTINGS.
There were several labels under SETTINGS
The only place with a PLUGINS label was under DISPLAY. I selected DISPLAY
Under PLUGINS label there were 3 choices "Enable " "Tap to Play" and "Disable"
I selected ENABLE
I then went to a site with a FLASH object [It is the Adobe Flash Software site.]to verify Flash was installed.
It has a flash object that I can see with my PC so I know it is there.
It did not display the flash object for me . It showed a place holder image with a label that says "need a plug in to view"[or something like that]
I assume that verifies FLASH is NOT installed on my NEXUS 10.
I'm confused because:
I have a Flash Player Icon showing among all the other apps installed on my Nexus. This should indicate it is installed
I used the instructions here:
How to Install Flash On Your Android Jelly Bean Tablet or Phone
I also followed these instructions. THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
How to manually install Adobe Flash Player on your Android device | Android Central
Any ideas on where I went wrong. Suggestions for installing Flash on my Nexus?
ADDED: Folks replied that Flash doesn't work with Firefox & KitKat but Dolphin does work with Flash. I have no problem using Dolphin, I just need to learn a new tool. It may not have the wealth of plug-ins that FF does. Just need to live with that.
