Flash Video Not Displaying in Webview for Android 3.0.1

Flash video not displaying in WebView for Android 3.0.1

So after a week and a half+ of searching high and low, trying different techniques, and just about near ready to throw my tablet out the window, I finally figured it out -- and I'm not too happy how EASY it was to fix; then again, I am!

Remember, this was directed toward the ISSUE of Flash video not loading into the WebView on my Xoom Android 3.0.1 tablet with PluginState ON. Read my question and then the answer. Enjoy!

Step 1: Simply add this to the tag under your Applications Manifest XML

android:hardwareAccelerated="true"

Step 2: Load up your app and enjoy your Flash enabled WebView!

Good luck!

WebView won't play embedded flash video

You can find my answer here :

Try to build your application with the latest android Api ( http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-3.0.html#Upgrading ),
and activate hardware acceleration (same link, just a little below) on
your activity that need to display flash.

Flash don't play in WebView for FLV

Flash content wont play in Andriod, at least on higher versions since Adobe has stopped the support for it. On lower version devices, you can insatll Flash Player from their archives and it will play. This was my question yesterday.
