You just need to enable the plugins for the webview, like this :

WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView01);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);

I think you also need Flash to be installed, like in Android 2.2 and above. Hope this helps.

This method is now deprecated, I'll try to explain this more in detail. See here

    You also may need `android:hardwareAccelerated="true"` in the manifest if its apk > 3.0 – Nick Mar 29 '12 at 15:22
  • Don't know for the "hardwareAccelerated", but the method I proposed is now deprecated. [link](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setPluginsEnabled%28boolean%29) I'll try to explain this more in detail. – MrBuBBLs Apr 05 '12 at 17:12

I believe that you can 

WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

will work.

    This is the correct answer, now that setPluginsEnabled() is deprecated. But the second line in your code is meaningless. All you do is setting a constant to another constant, which you get by accessing the runtime object. I suggest you remove the second line and change the third line to: webSettings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON); – Robert Sep 12 '12 at 07:39
  • Okay. I edited my sample. Thanks for the advice, sorry I'm mad late. – Nick Felker Mar 21 '13 at 20:22

setPluginsEnabled() and setPluginsEnabled() are deprecated.

To make Flash Player work in a WebView you need to enable hardware acceleration in your AdroidManifest.xml.

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/appicon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

You can also individually enable it for your WebView by using

mWebView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null);

webView.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

is deprecated now, instead use this:

webView.getSettings().setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(true);

try to use this lines of code 

webView.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

instead of using 

 webView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);

Its work fine...
