Tour is not shown on Android phone - why?

Hi Folks,

I just built up a virtual tour with PTpro 1.8 and exported it also with the option for mobile devices. But the tour is not shown on Android phones. iPhone works fine. I know that Android supports flash. But the Samsung Galaxy 3 remains empty.

What can I do?

Here is the code for the HTML:

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
  <meta name="viewport" content="target-densitydpi=device-dpi, width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
  <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"/>
  <style type="text/css">
    @media only screen and (min-device-width: 800px) { html { overflow:hidden; } }
    * { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
    html { height: 100%; }
    body { height: 100%; overflow:hidden; }
    #container { height: 100%; min-height: 100%; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="swfobject/swfkrpano.js"></script>
  <div id="container">
      <div id="panoDIV" style="height:100%;">
        <script>
          embedpano({target:"panoDIV",swf:"Infobus.swf"});
        </script>
          <noscript>
            <div id="tour">
              <object width="100%" height="100%">
                <embed src="Infobus.swf" width="100%" height="100%" allowFullScreen="true"></embed>
              </object>
            </div>
          </noscript>
        </div>
      </div>
</body>
</html>

THANK YOU!
Regards from Frank

Flash doesn't come preinstalled with Android 4 devices like the Galaxy S3, I think. Have you checked that you have it installed on your phone? As Flash won't be supported on future Android OS'es, maybe you should go for HTML5 on android, too?

Tripjip,
I'm trying to address this problem as well.
Could you explain... "maybe you should go for HTML5 on android, too?"

BTW... You are correct about Flash not being installed... but worse than that, it is currently unavailable from the app store.  My authorized dealer even tried to get it though a back door and it appeared to be loaded but would not run Flash programs. 
NOTE: Flash will not run on the next S3 os of "Candy"... It appears to be a Adobe mgt decision.  If I know Adobe... Adobe probibly wanted too much $$$ for the licence.  If your a licenced user of Adobe products you know where Adobe has been headded the last few years.

Re: Tour is not shown on Android phone - why?

Originaly I posted on this and got no replies... no wonder as I soon found out after spending many hrs in various verizon stores.
You are all correct... plus... from what I understand as of a week ago on the news channel... it sounds like Adobe Flash is being phased out all together. 

I can tell you I know for a fact... the Flash app is no longer available for androids, either from the Store or though the Back Door.
Also... if you were lucky enough to download it while you could... it will NOT work on the next operating system update of "Eye Candy" (or what ever they are going to call it) which is do out any day now.

This really hurts not to be able to showcase our work with this wonderful Android technoligy.

Klaus,

I've tried krpano 1.0.8.15, it works, but, not great on android still.  Expressed well on krpano's documentation of html5 supported systems & browsers:

The HTML5 CSS 3D transforms is a very new technology and many browsers and systems still have different implementations and a different level of support and so also different issues. The krpano HTML5 Viewer internally deals with all these differences and tries to provide the same output on all systems and browsers.

Android - Default System Browser

    - Android 4.0 or higher is needed.
    - The CSS 3D transforms support in the Android system browsers is still a bit unreliable and unpredictable at the moment. Even with the same Android version there can be rendering differences between different Android devices.
    - Distorted hotspots can be a problem on Android - either their clipping is wrong or it's not possible to touch them.
    - The CSS 3D transforms will be only displayed correct when the Android Browser is using hardware-acceleration. In some situations (low-gpu-memory?) the Browser will switch automatically to an internal tiled based Software-Rendering, which is extremely slow and extremely bad and buggy. There will be strange graphics errors or mirrored cube images in this case.
    - When all is working, then the performance is okay. But for a really good support like on iOS or Desktop, the Android system (or browser) itself still need to evolve and get better.
