I need to enable Adobe Flash player in Google Chrome. I have Nexus 7 with OS v4.4.2 up to date.

When I go to chrome://plugins/, it just says "This webpage is not available". How can I enable Flash on my Android?

Thanks,

Duane

You can't. I really wish Google (Android) would be a lot more forthcoming with the info.

There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player since June 2012. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store, but recently they added "paid" FULL versions to paly Flash content. Google is really doing all they can to keep people from viewing ANYTHING Flash with an Android device. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Thanks Mike, not the answer I wanted but at least I can stop scratching my head as to why it won't work. There is lots of content on youtube and even on Adobe's Flash Help that tells you how to install it, however, it just dosen't work. Would be nice if Adobe would state the facts on thier site.

Thanks again for the help,

Duane
