no flash support for nexus 7?

[TurboCam]

I just read that there will not be any flash support for the nexus 7 or any jellbean device.

How are you supposed to watch embedded video on websites, like espn for example

Not yet! Pretty sure it will have in Google play soon

Quick answer: HTML 5.

Adobe has stopped developing Flash for mobile devices.

Yup, no official Flash support. However, using search would yeild you at least two other topics in this same forum with a link to the. apk to side load it and suggestions on a work around, such as installing the. apk and using Dolphin HD browser, which works like a champ.

I installed firefox and flash, both side loaded, works like a charm, I want flash for 1 thing and thats watching amazon prime movies. I imagine going forward with adobe's discontinuation of flash, Amazon may make a move to html 5.....hopefully

Contact your favorite websites and let then know that they need to update to html5. What else can u do?

I dont miss flash that much. Sure its used everywhere but i mostly read on the web and watch videos from youtube. N7 does both very well.

google needs to provide a flash player alternative.

there is no point in having a tablet that can't display the flash streams on countless web sites people want to view on their phones and tablets.

Where are people getting this from? There is an official flash plugin, and not one, but two browsers that support the plugin and natively play flash (Dolphin and Firefox). This is the second post I've seen about this..

Where is this official plugin you speak of? I've seen the side loading posts, but do not find an official plugin in the Play Store.

I've never searched for it, but running dolphin or firefox, when you come to a page that uses flash, it will prompt you to download flash player which brings you to the market.

And Flash in Aurora(Firefox Alpha):

That's weird. I'm not able to download Firefox because the Play Store says my device isn't compatible and loading flash pages in Dolphin just tell me that I don't have the plugin installed.

Ohhhh, this is a different device, if play store is saying incompatible then yea, youll probably have to side load, don't see why it would be incompatible tho. What I was just showing is an old tegra 2 tablet lol..

Could someone explain how this works? I've got the .exe file for the flash plug in on my desktop. Do I copy that over with a USB connection, then run it in my Nexus 7? Or what? Thanks

Go to that link on your device. Download the file on the page. You'll see a notification in your notification pane. Open it, and follow the prompts. It'll install Flash, just like you were installing it from the Play Store. Make sure you go into settings, security, and check the box for installing from unknown sources first.

Well the N7 isn't alone... this little known device called iPad doesn't support flash either... and as others have said Adobe has stopped developing flash for mobile... and that's a good thing in my opinion .. the more that we can do without 3rd party apps/plugins the better...

Flash never really became a standard on mobile like it did on PC's... until recently the hardware to run flash just wasn't a reality in the mobile space...
