Downloading Courses on Android

If you plan on being disconnected from the internet, you can save individual lectures, sections, or an entire course for offline viewing on the Android mobile app.  Due to piracy concerns, you can only access a Udemy course within the app, since the downloaded offline content is encrypted. Once the course is fully downloaded, you can go to Ready offline course on the My Courses tab to start learning. 

Please note that practice activities like quizzes and practice tests, etc. cannot be downloaded and completed offline. For steps on how to adjust the video quality of lectures you want to download on the mobile app, please click here.

Download a Single Lecture
You can download a single lecture from your Android device in a couple of ways:

1) From the Course Curriculum, tap on the download icon, which appears beside the lecture title.

2) Go to the lecture, tap the ellipses at the upper-right corner and choose Save for Offline.

After you download a lecture for offline viewing, the circle icon will turn color. After the lecture has been downloaded, you can watch it an offline setting by tapping the lecture title.

If you decide to delete the saved lecture, then you can do so by tapping on the download icon. You can also find the Delete Offline content option in the lecture options.

For more information on how to delete saved lectures from your device, please refer to this article.

Download a Section for Offline Viewing

You can also select all the lectures in a particular section for download by tapping the download icon in the section title.

Download the Content to a SD External Card

  1. Open the Account tab in the Udemy app
  2. Tap Download options
  3. Toggle on the Download to SD card option
  4. Close the app
  5. Relaunch the app from the Home screen. Moving forward, the download content will be stored in your external SD card

Troubleshooting

Steps on how to fix some of the more common issues related to downloading courses on the Udemy mobile app can be read here.

Mobile Data Usage

To avoid unexpected data usage, we recommend downloading lectures to your device when it is connected to Wifi:

On the Android app, please go to Account> Download options > and toggle on the Download via Wi-Fi only option.

If you play downloaded lectures while your mobile data still is still turned on, the Udemy app will not use mobile data to load the video content. Some mobile data, however, may be used to load certain features in the background (About this course information, QA questions, etc) or initiate some server calls to update the course progress. As such, if you do not want to use any mobile data for the app, be sure to turn off the internet connection completely, or turn off mobile data usage for the Udemy app from the device’s system settings.
