What version of Flash is supported on Chrome for Android?
Chrome for Android will not be supporting Flash. As you may have seen in November, 2011, Adobe announced it has stopped investing in Flash for mobile browsing. Google has long been committed to making the web platform more powerful through open web technologies like HTML5 and is working with Adobe and other partners to further advance the web standard.

It really depends on what you mean by flash videos. The FLV video format is supported by a number of apps on the play store (VPlayer is one example).
The official Adobe Flash Player app is confirmed as working (there is a thread in this section id you search for it titled '[Q] Does Adobe Flash Player install/work on Jelly Bean?'). However, Adobe have stated that they will not support 4.1 and later, and will drop support completely after August 15th.
Short answer: Yes, it will work without support from Adobe. It may stop working at any point in the future.
Ok thanks heaps.
Just one question, will I be able to use the chrome browser with Adobe flash player? Or would I need to use a different browser?
Cheers

Chrome doesn't support Adobe flash so just use ICS Browser + (or almost any other browser, really).

Adobe will be removing the flash app from the market, so make sure you save a copy of the APK
I have personally confirmed that flash works with 4.1 on firefox. But any browser that says it supports flash should work.
Chrome will not.
and as Censura said, save a copy of the APK because on August 15th it's being removed from the market for new downloads.
OK thanks heaps, I can't wait for my n7 to arrive now

Hey guys,
Long time Android user, and a very proud one at that. I recently got my Nexus 7, and I'm extremely happy with it.
I was shocked to see that some "flash video" works in the default Chrome Browser? I have not installed Flash or any other add on that I can think of. But I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I can view and play some videos on website which I believe is using Flash.
For example:
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/03/new-super-mario-bros-2-review
http://www.comingsoon.net/
These sites work perfectly fine with my Nexus 7 Chrome Browser.
However, how come these don't work on my Chrome Browser for my Galaxy Nexus or my Sony Tablet?
The Chrome Browser is the same version 18.0.102523 on all 3 devices.
Can someone explain why is this the case?
Thank you all for your on going support in these forums.
Bill
This Question was resolved... see last post.
HTML5.
what he said
I figured as such, but is HTML5 video not enabled for Chrome Browser on the Galaxy Nexus?
Bill
I looked into this further, and I've confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus plays HTML5 videos fine on sites that specify it is HTML5 videos, but its weird that those sites above still don't work. Can those that own both a Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus confirm that these play on both devices?
Thanks All,
Bill
Codec support maybe if it might be opening the video directly from website

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your confirmations... I finally figured out what was causing the problem... although I feel this is a bug:
When you view a website with the "request desktop site" option checked (which I prefer),
the HTML5 video links are broken. It's not Flash, as I initially thought it was... its HTML5.
However, if you view the desktop website using the website's "View Full Site" link instead of using the Chrome Browsers "request desktop site" option, the HTML5 video links work!
Thanks Everyone.
Is there any possibility to get flash on chrome of nexus 7 in future?
Not in Chrome, but maybe on the stock Android browser.

I just installed the new firefox beta and the flash package. Had to tell the tablet to install apps not verified. No rooting req for flash.

That's a website bug most likely. When you hit "request desktop site" in chrome, chrome gets the desktop site, not a desktop redirect from mobile (which is how it should be). Those websites probably don't have HTML5 video on a desktop site. When you click their own "View Full Site" link, they still know you are on a mobile device, and still give you the HTML5 video. They should just give HTML5 to anyone without flash.

First news, Google Chrome for Android is out of beta and current version is 18. This version doesn’t support new stuff from the previous beta version but it’s pretty updated in terms of HTML5 compatibility.
HTML5 Compatibility: There are differences between Safari on iOS and Chrome for Android. Chrome for iOS follows Safari on iOS, so you don’t have IndexedDB, file upload and HTML media capture, animation timing API, full screen API, remote debugging and other stuff. While some new stuff may be included in iOS 6 Google is not in control of Chrome on iOS.

I did and it was working flawlessly at some times, but other times it would make the browser FC.
HTML5 is much faster than Adobe

if a site has support for both flash and html5, which takes priority? I use dolphin which does have flash support, too many video and file downloading sites require flash, basically any site without funding is still very reliant on flash

It would depend on each individual website, how it's coded and how it detects what is available.
Any ideas if Nexus 4 will be able to play flash via side loading the APK?
I think the Nexus 7 could through the stock browser (google chrome)... hopefully this can too.
although i'll be glad when flash has died on the web.
It wouldn't be able to through chrome. You would need to flash the stock browser and flash.

maybe it was the stock browser and i just failed to remember it properly!
Firefox for Android also supports Flash. That's about all I use it for. Dolphin removed support a few versions back.
Old stock android browser would not install for me. I installed adobe flash, and am currently using Firefox Beta to view flash content.
I loaded a flash page on firefox and it says "a plugin in needed to display this content"

Not sure why you need it? The only time I see flash is with lame pop up web adverts....
But; I sode loaded it on PA and use it with the Older stock android browser.
It crashes sometimes tho and also causes the browser to lock up alot.
So I've downloaded a lot of updates for adobe flash but it doesn't work at all on chrome. A few users have said that it does work so that's why I'm wondering how I can get mine to work. Mine works on Firefox but not chrome.
