As you can see in this video, Adobe Flash Player is no longer available for download on Google Play Store. However, Android users can download and install Flash Player from the Flash Player archived versions page.
While web developers are slowly moving toward HTML5, we're not yet convinced that computing is truly ready for a world without Flash. If you own a Nexus 7, Nexus 10, or any other tablet or smartphone running Android Jelly Bean, KitKat, or Lollipop, you will have noticed by now that most of the things you wanted this tablet for – watching catch-up TV and video online, casual games – just don't work. In many cases, apps are available to add functionality, but do you really want to install individual apps for each site or Flash service you use? Or turn on the dusty old office just to catch up on EastEnders on iPlayer? That is not very practical.
We don't even want to think about the Flash problem: we want to keep doing what we want, when we want in our browser, and not have to worry about the ongoing headache of switching between apps to find a solution which works. This stuff should be transparent.
The good news is that even though Android Jelly Bean, KitKat, and Lollipop don't officially support Flash, it's very easy to add Flash support to the operating system. Here we show you some simple tweaks to enable playing catch-up TV, online videos and Flash games on a Google Nexus 10 or any other tablet running Android Jelly Bean or Android KitKat.
This video shows you how to manually download and install Flash Player on Android smartphones and tablets.
