Chad and Belinda Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Our daughter has a Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet that she uses for school. However, she is unable to look at her textbook online do to the fact that adobe flashplayer does not work on this tablet. Does anyone have any help they can offer. She really needs to be able to see her textbook online and be able to watch class videos. Thanks in advance. By the way...when I tried to download it from the app store it says: "NOTE: flash player is no longer being updated for new device configurations. flash player will not be supported on any android version beyond 4.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 There are other flash players out there that work on android. I've got a similiar issue going on right now with my ebook for math. Can I just ask is the book publisher Pearson education? Something like mymathlab.com or mylabs.com or pearsoned.com? Book hosted online? Can you download the book to your computer in PDF format then send it over to be read in kindle? Check the publishers FAQ about this, often they will tell you the name of their app in the app store to download. (Pearson uses etext) BTW not every book viewable on a computer is viewable on a tablet, some books just arent formatted for android yet. Mine is one of those books so it becomes a pain in the *** but luckily my school has computers at each desk to use in class and I have a laptop at home.

You lost me past the first question...lol. She also has tutorial videos that she has to be able to pull up while at school. She's not able to pull them up either. When shes hat home, she uses our computers, but while she's at school, shes stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I had it installed on my tablet since pre-4.0, so I didn't even know they completely blocked it until now. It's so buggy, I couldn't imagine using it for anything important, but I would give this a try: http://www.howtogeek...y-bean-devices/ with the new Firefox browser available in the play store.

He works for Williamson County. No, it's not for Round Rock. Thanks everyone for all your help. Will post when I find a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 There's no flash on Apple either. not natively, but there are a few 3rd party apps that will do in a pinch (rover). Sorry I can't be of any service on android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
