My grand-daughter had a Samsung 7" tablet for Xmas.One of her favourite programs "Bearville" won't play as it requires Adobe Flash Player which the tablet does not accept.
None of the various suggestions, to work around the problem, found on Google, or made by friends, have worked. It looks as though Adobe have made a policy decision not to support Androids.
The tablet ops. system is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Can anyone out there suggest anything ?
My feeling is that Samsung should take these tablets back - they are not fit for the purpose for which they were bought.

Look in Android Market for Flash - Installer.

Then look in your apps for Flash Player and Flash Player Settings.

Hop this helps...

Interesting............Adobe did indeed stop support for Flash Player on Android for new installations some months ago. They got too pissed off with the bickering over stability / vulnerability vs HTML5
Its been a real PITA ever since

Is that program you installed from someone else - i.e. a "clone" flash player, or have you managed to find an old installer from somewhere/

It's hardly Samsung's fault. There are other manufacturers with incompatibilities (as I'm discovering with my new Android fondlesab).

As has been mentioned, there are always work-arounds, but it can take some time to find them (and about 30 seconds to install them).
