Modern mobile devices, due to their versatility, often replace computers or laptops for users. For example, while on a trip, or in places where the Internet is not available, it is convenient to browse necessary information in offline... But how do you save a page on Android? This is what we are going to talk about now.
Chrome
If you are using an earlier version of the Chrome browser, you can save your favorite content as PDF. To do this, by opening the browser, we find the required page, call up the menu by pressing the three vertical dots in the upper right corner, select the item “ Printing", Click the icon" PDF»:
After that, a window with a keyboard will open, where you can set a name for the file and select a storage location " Disk" or " Downloads»
IN latest version Google browser Chrome added save function. To use it, after selecting a web page, click three dots, on the top panel of the drop-down menu, click the icon with an arrow, and then a message will appear below that the file has been downloaded, and you can view it by selecting “ Downloaded files»:
By the way, all downloads here are grouped according to the type of downloaded files - images, video and audio, web pages, etc.
Opera
If you use the Opera browser, then the option we are interested in is implemented as follows: we find the necessary information, at the very beginning of the search line we see the symbol “ + ", Click on it, and then select the function" Save". That's all, after these manipulations, a corresponding notification will appear below:
Save the page using third-party software
Unfortunately, not all browsers support the function of saving web pages, in such cases, you can use the services of third-party services.
Pocket app
After completing the procedure, at any time, while offline, we can go into the application and immediately see all the saved materials, and by selecting the desired item in the menu, we will be able to add tags, delete unnecessary content, choose a convenient form of displaying the saved material, and even listen to it in voice version:
To view information offline (without an Internet connection), we just need to open a new tab, and then activate the item " Saved pages».
We described how to save a page in Android using the simplest and most popular methods most often used by users. But this does not mean at all that there are no other options for solving this problem. So, you can solve this problem using Instapaper , Offline browser, and other applications. Working with all these programs is very similar, so it makes no sense to repeat and describe each one.
And that's all for me, stay in touch. Good luck!
Greetings!
The reasons why it becomes necessary to download the site (s) to a smartphone for later viewing without the Internet (offline) can be very different.
For example, you are going to a village where the speed and stability of the wireless Internet leaves much to be desired, and there is no desire to deny yourself reading articles from your favorite sites.
In addition to downloading your favorite sites, you can also download thematic ones, information from which will be at hand if necessary.
Offhand, you can give an example of a catalog with mushrooms and berries, using which, you can easily distinguish healthy mushrooms and fruits from poisonous ones.
To implement the assigned tasks, the developers created an application for the operating room. Android systems entitled Offline Browser... Thanks to this free application, you can download sites to your smartphone or tablet and view them without Internet access.
To install the application, open Play Store
and enter in the search bar Offline Browser.
Let's move on to examining the program interface.
After launching, our gaze is presented with a window with a list of sites to download and three buttons at the bottom: add a site, download all sites from the list, online viewing \ create a project.
To create a project (uploaded site) click on the first button.
In the opened window in the field Link enter the URL of the site you want to download.
In field Name enter the desired display name for the project.
There is no single recommendation for the rest of the parameters, it all depends on the structure of each specific site. I can only recommend setting the parameter Maximum nesting of downloadable links before 4
(and in Pro versions before 50
).
After entering all the necessary parameters, click on the button OK & download- the download of the site will start.
Viewing the uploaded site is carried out by clicking on the project name in the main window of the program.
P.S.
It should be noted that using this program does not download video content that is embedded on some sites. Otherwise, an almost complete local copy of the site is created.
If the site is large and contains thousands of pages with information, then it is better to upload it via Wi-Fi connection with unlimited traffic. Often, when downloading such sites, the traffic consumed is calculated hundreds of megabytes.
