The Adobe Flash Player no longer corresponds to the state of the art and is largely being replaced by HTML5 technology. Accordingly, Google also removed Flash Player from the Play Store at the end of 2012 and the playback software has no longer been officially available for Android devices since then.
For this reason, Flash-based content cannot easily be played back on a smartphone, although numerous websites with gaming or video offerings still use Flash technology. In our following tutorial, we will tell you how you can still play such Flash content on your Android device, even without Adobe Flash Player.
We collect further tips and tricks on our overview page for the basic Android functions and show you, for example, how you can use your smartphone as a mass storage device.
