You have to create an html file with embedded swf file. See sample here http://pastebin.com/BYrfKmea After that you can make it in three different ways

  • You can put html and swf files in assets folder and try opening it in a WebView by mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/player.html");. Main disadvatage of this method is flash is not working in WebView sometimes.

  • Put html and swf files in assets folder. Then programmatically copy them to SD card. How to do that find out here How to copy files from 'assets' folder to sdcard? Then open copied file in browser by calling startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("file:///mnt/sdcard/player.html")));

  • Place html and swf fles on a web-server and open in browser by startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.yoursite.com/player.html")));. Disadvantage of this method is that you need internet connection and a web-server ready for high-load.
