Android – WebView doesn’t play swf file on Android

androidandroid-webviewflash

I am developing an application for android 3.0 tablet, that's supposed to play swf files inside a WebView.
First I tried to open the swf file from the device, than through the internet, with no luck.
The WebView shows up, but inside the WebView all I can see is a black screen (with a 3-4 px wide white line on the right).
If I load the same URL to the device browser, the flash file plays well.
I think Im missing something on the WebView setup, but after a few hours of searching and googling I still dont know what.

The Java code:

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
    setContentView(R.layout.presentation);

    presentationWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.presentation_webview);

    presentationWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    presentationWebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
    presentationWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
    presentationWebView.loadUrl("http://my_domain/fileName.swf");

}

The presentation.xml

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

Thank you very mouch for any answers.

I've got it finally! Only needed to add the attribute

android:hardwareAccelerated = "true"

to my manifest file.
