Code for detecting flash and html5 in android

Question

As we know, some android devices can support flash and HTML5. However, not all android devices support HTML5. Can we have some program code like JavaScript to detect whether particular android devices support HTML5?

I'm mostly interested in capabilities concerning video playback.

Answer 1

HTML5 is an ubrella for many different unrelated technologies. These can be individually supported (or not supported) by any browser. The way to go is feature detection to check if the needed technology is present.
