Where are saved pages stored?

Question

I have used the stock browser to save a page for offline reading. It is a .txt file, the browser only opens it and does not give me an option to download it.

Where is the page stored, i would like to open it with another app.

I have looked under /sdcard/Android/data But there is no com.android.browser folder or any other folder which looks like the right one.

Answer 1

Where to find it when it was downloaded

If you have been able to "download" the file, the most likely location to find it is either /sdcard/download or /sdcard/downloads.

It wasn't downloaded, but "saved for offline reading"

But as it turns out, the stock browser didn't give you that option, and you had to "save for offline reading" -- which is something different. In this case the file probably is stored on internal storage (below /data/data/com.android.browser). Without root you've got not many chances to access it there. So you could either try with a different browser -- or simply copy-paste the text file into some note-taking app / editor (e.g. Jota Text Editor or AmbleLink Notepad Basic Ed.).

Alternative download options

If you have to do this more often, or formatting gets lost on copy-paste, you're probably much better of with some "downloader tools". I just know about Tasker, which offers HTTP_GET actions. Depending on your ROM, the shell might provide wget (stock ROM on my Milestone 2 had this), so all you need in that case is a terminal app (e.g. Android Terminal Emulator), and there simply execute

# change to the directory where you want to store the downloaded file in
cd /sdcard/download
# get the file
wget http://www.example.com/textfile.txt

Adjust that to your needs, of course :)

Special downloader apps

Other alternatives would include special "Downloader Apps", like e.g. Download All Files or Easy Downloader, which you might want to give a try.
