I recently acquired a Nexus 7 tablet (which is totally fantastic) only to discover that Flash doesn't work with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the built in Chrome browser.
However, the below article describes a sufficient work around to this problem...for now
Check it out!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adobe Flash hasn’t always had the best support by
mobile platforms. iOS for example has never and likely will never
support it on their devices, however, Android has had it for quite some
time. Unfortunately, Google has decided to stop offering support for
Flash in the latest version of Android, 4.1 Jelly Bean. This has upset
quite a few users, but fortunately, there is a way to get it working.
Thanks
to the awesome developer community, some forum members of
XDA-Developers shared how to safely and easily install Flash any device
running Jelly Bean. As there are many Android 4.0 devices currently on
the market that will be upgraded to 4.1, this is definitely great news.
The only downside is that Flash will only work with the native Android
browser and not Chrome.
Anyways, to learn how to install Flash on
your Jelly Bean device, view the thread here. The process seems rather
simple and will take just a few minutes. It’s worth mentioning that
Adobe Flash is, again, unsupported on Android 4.1 so if you run into
issues, don’t be too surprised. This process is the same with rooted
devices as well.
Now, if you have the Nexus 7 and want Flash on
it, you’ll need to do things a bit differently. That thread can be found
here. Basically, the Nexus 7 doesn’t come with a stock browser but
Chrome instead so you have to install the native Android browser in
order to use Flash. Starting August 15th, Adobe Flash Player will no
longer be available in the Play Store for users who don’t have it
already installed so these workarounds are all we’ve got for now.
