FLV Player is a free multimedia viewing software app for Android devices.

FLV Player sets the worldwide standard for efficiently, reliably, and easily being able to view multimedia files using your Android tablet or phone.

Using the app is easy. To view the videos, all you need to do is quickly open all of the video files you have on your SD card, the web, email, or any downloaded app that supports video sharing. From there you can easily control your device's display brightness, screen rotation, and aspect ratio. There's full support for hardware acceleration, which means that you'll get a smoother and faster HD video playback experience. Also included is a built-in files manager that can automatically identify all of the video files saved on your device, so you don't have to go hunting for them.

FLV Player supports thirteen different media formats, so nearly any way that your video is encoded can be played back. If your video isn't supported by the player, you can transcribe it into a supported format and then watch it using the player.

The minimum operating requirements for the app are an Android operating system of 2.3.3 or higher. You also need to have at least 256MB of RAM.

Permissions required by FLV Player

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • GET_TASKS
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.
  • com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
