Load an SWF into a WebView

Figured it out. You have to enable plugins.

webview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);

Niky, you have a code example here.

I have used this example to test this code and confirm it works. In this example the qualibus.swf is in contained within the assets of the app. Please test this on an actual device, as on the emulator it show a blank page (probably the flash player is not present on the emulator)

Test3Activity.java:

package com.blabla.test3;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class Test3Activity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        String url ="file:///android_asset/qualibus.swf";

        WebView wv=(WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
        wv.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
        wv.loadUrl(url);
    }
}

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<WebView android:id="@+id/webView1" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</WebView>
</LinearLayout>

Result:

Application running and displaying swf in web view
