I tried to do a small client for one mmorpg browser game for android. It shoud have contained only simple WebView with a SWF file loaded and then some buttons simulating keyboard keys press.
After reading few topics here and going through some tutorials, the major thing was clear. No flash on android API 19+ (last support by API 18)
BUT!
I have a phone with API 19, and I am still able to run flash content from browser.
Installation of plugin was required, I used UC Browser, which requested an installation of Adobe Flash 11.1 apk, downloaded it, and then .. vialaaa, flash content is available in that browser.
But I haven't found any tutorial for this, so my question is quite general.
How to get Flash content (especially SWF from WebView) available on Android API 19+? Can you please provide some tutorials, guides, links, or whatever? Because as I said .. found nothing relevant, but still, it is possible....
Thank you.

I have built a chrome extension that works fine. I know I can't deploy it to android. So I would have to build an app. The app may or may not have anything to do with chrome; I don't know. This isn't a chrome extension question.
But as to the integration between the app and the on-board browser, I see the android api doesn't have any functionality for browser or web integration? Is that correct?
I'm just making sure because building an app that is essentially it's own proprietary browser, just to get my functionality onto android, is not really something I think a lot of people would download. I'm looking for a more integrated way than that. Is there one?
For those who say impossible, I know for a fact there is an app which added a context menu inside chrome on android but I have no idea how they did that or what other integration is possible. It was a webpage pdf converter. Upon clicking that menu it converted the webpage to pdf, and opened the pdf in the app.
I have seen at least 20-30 posts on SO regarding this but still haven't got the answer. Can we load an swf file in Android webview or not? I have an HTML page with swf object embedded in it. All HTML content loads except the swf file. I have also installed the Flash Player from Adobe archives on Android device(2.3) but it doesn't work.
In this post, it doesn't work. But the same method is working on this post. Why?
My aim is to run a sencha app on Android device containing the above HTML file, but first I'm unable to load that HTML file with swf content using a native app.
Short answer: when Flash was supported on Android, it required to enable plugins support on the WebView. But it's not supported anymore since Android 4.1 (Jellybean). And Android 4.4 devices use a new WebView implementation which is garanteed to not support any plugin.
If you want this to work, you have to install Flash on an older device with Android 4 or lower.
I am trying to upload multiple images from android browser and having problems.
It seems to only allow 1 image upload at a time.
Here is the code I am using
<input id='image[]' name='image[]' type="file" multiple="multiple"/>
It works great on the Iphone and browsers on my computer.
Is there any way to get this working on android browsers?
Do android browsers support HTML5?
Modern Android browsers supports html5, this web browser is based on chromium, but on android devices and OS versions this is not posible right now. It seems to be an OS limitation... I have done a lot of research and on a lot of sites talks about this limitation. Check out this link which answer you question about multiple file upload reference per OS and web browsers link. If you want to know about file api per OS versions chech out this link
Update: Multiple file uploads seems to work as android 5.x using Chrome browser
I am developing a mobile application in Flex in Adobe Flash buillder 4.6 that will run on Android and iOS.
I need a way to view PDF files stored in the application storage directory. Searched in several forums and none of the suggestions worked for me.
In iOS'm using a StageWebView but Android still have not found a working solution.
Can be used ANE or not.
It needs to work offline, so I can not use google docs as a proxy.
Any suggestions?
I solved as was mentioned earlier.
Continued using webview in iOS and a ANE made a call to the Android application registered to open PDF.
Sorry for delay in giving feedback.
Thans for all
is it possible to programmatically access the website that is currently displayed within the Android browser?
As far as I know the native Browser doesn't handle plugins (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I thought that reading the browser cache would be an option.
Is there a more sophisticated way to get the currently displayed HTML?
Thanks in advance!

That would be a security violation, so, no. Also bear in mind that there are several Web browsers for Android.

The standard browser app supports plugins, but not ones downloaded on the fly. So, for example, it supports the Flash plugin (on Android 2.2+), but you have to install Flash separately first.
