Install Adobe Flash Player and Stream Flash Videos on Samsung Galaxy Tab Lollipop/Marshmallow vs Jelly Bean/KitKat

2 Methods:

Install Adobe Flash Player and Stream Flash Videos on Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Since 2012, Adobe Flash no longer supports any of the Android mobile devices. So, it will appear on your Samsung Tab 2 as a third party "unknown" app to download. Since 2012, you cannot find Adobe Flash Player in the Google Play Store. You must select "Allow installation of non-market apps" before following the instructions below. Adobe announced that the company was going to higher user protection with the HTML5. This is a predicament since so many videos that online require the Adobe Flash to download and view. Fortunately, archived Adobe Flash files can still be downloaded and installed on your Samsung Galaxy Tab. Also, you can still update the Adobe Flash once installed with the latest security patches. Note that Adobe Flash will not stream in the Google Chrome browser. Firefox will work, and with the reputation as the fastest browser anyway, it is recommended. Other browsers may work but are not reliable.

Does Samsung Galaxy (2016) J120F require any additional software?

Does Samsung Galaxy (2016) J120F require any additional software to be downloaded? I want to watch tennis channels for free on my cell. Do you have an idea Sir?

You could do that with several of the sports apps within Google Play. Some are not free while others contain ads for the streaming content. Tennis TV app within Google Play is just one example.

Why do they have to make things difficult..compatibility of all things hardware & or software should only be improved, not restricted, thoughts?

Rant about stuff and extra detail for needless rant

Unfortunately, it is all about the upsell with devices. They keep changing their products to make them "better" or different from the competitor and then upsell with extras. It is like buying a car instead of a device.

Adobe Flash player is installed on my Samsung Galaxy S2, I am trying to use an online video course. I can hear, but no video?

My Samsung S2 has flash player installed. Can hear sound but no video when I want to watch an online course

Try an app like Photon Flash Player.

Installed once but when streaming from a link, I get a message that it's not supported by my device and directs me to a site to buy a player. Very frustrating?

This is a constant bug with Adobe Flash Player. Make sure that you are streaming from the Firefox browser each time to try to avoid any hiccups. Sometimes the phone will revert to Chrome or whatever browser was stock installed also.
