Ok. It is becoming clear now. Flash is licensed per device. So even though you have different devices all running Android, only the ones that are licensed for Flash can implement it. Is that correct?
I didn't mention that I do have an HTC Hero (as well as my android development phone). It is running Firmware version 1.5. I also tried doing the WebView as stated in the article testing on this device and also got the same result as my android development phone when trying to view a .swf (a screen full of random characters). >From what you told me it sounds like I need to go down the road of continuing to test my WebView stub on my HTC Hero and maybe looking into why my flashlite plugin doesn't seem to be working with my WebView stub code? Does that sound about right to you Mark? Thank you again, this really does help me alot. -Chris On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 12:10 PM, Mark Murphy <[email protected]>wrote: > chris harper wrote: > > According to this article it is had been done and is possible: > > > http://www.flashmobileblog.com/2009/08/12/flash-development-with-android-part2/ > > The very first sentence of that post: > > "As we already know by now the HTC Hero supports Flash in the browser, > and by double tapping on Flash content it will be played in full screen > mode." > > You will note that this says "HTC Hero".
