Question

How do I download it on an Android?

Community Answer

Newer versions of Android can't use Flash. Evidently Adobe and Google can't come to an agreement, so the public suffers until they do.

Question

How long will it take to download?

Community Answer

On most web connections, Adobe Flash Player should take less than a minute to download and less than one more minute to install. You should be prepared to close all browser windows during Adobe Flash installation, then reopen the browser to use it after installation is complete.
