I need a small code snippet which unzips a few files from a given .zip file and gives the separate files according to the format they were in the zipped file. Please post your knowledge and help me out.
Had peno's version optimised a bit. The increase in performance is perceptible.
private boolean unpackZip(String path, String zipname)
{
InputStream is;
ZipInputStream zis;
try
{
String filename;
is = new FileInputStream(path + zipname);
zis = new ZipInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is));
ZipEntry ze;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null)
{
filename = ze.getName();
// Need to create directories if not exists, or
// it will generate an Exception...
if (ze.isDirectory()) {
File fmd = new File(path + filename);
fmd.mkdirs();
continue;
}
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(path + filename);
while ((count = zis.read(buffer)) != -1)
{
fout.write(buffer, 0, count);
}
fout.close();
zis.closeEntry();
}
zis.close();
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return true;
}
ze
is a directory. Trying to perform these operations will cause an exception. –
Seringapatam zip -j
will not generate directory entries. EDIT: actually didn't notice, but the next answer from zapi is the right one. –
Staffordshire BufferedOutputStream(FileOutputStream)
be faster than using the FileOutputStream
itself? –
Hower Based on Vasily Sochinsky's answer a bit tweaked & with a small fix:
public static void unzip(File zipFile, File targetDirectory) throws IOException {
ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(
new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFile)));
try {
ZipEntry ze;
int count;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
File file = new File(targetDirectory, ze.getName());
File dir = ze.isDirectory() ? file : file.getParentFile();
if (!dir.isDirectory() && !dir.mkdirs())
throw new FileNotFoundException("Failed to ensure directory: " +
dir.getAbsolutePath());
if (ze.isDirectory())
continue;
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(file);
try {
while ((count = zis.read(buffer)) != -1)
fout.write(buffer, 0, count);
} finally {
fout.close();
}
/* if time should be restored as well
long time = ze.getTime();
if (time > 0)
file.setLastModified(time);
*/
}
} finally {
zis.close();
}
}
Notable differences
public static
- this is a static utility method that can be anywhere.- 2
File
parameters becauseString
are :/ for files and one could not specify where the zip file is to be extracted before. Alsopath + filename
concatenation > https://mcmap.net/q/80290/-how-to-combine-paths-in-java throws
- because catch late - add a try catch if really not interested in them.- actually makes sure that the required directories exist in all cases. Not every zip contains all the required directory entries in advance of file entries. This had 2 potential bugs:
- if the zip contains an empty directory and instead of the resulting directory there is an existing file, this was ignored. The return value of
mkdirs()
is important. - could crash on zip files that don't contain directories.
- if the zip contains an empty directory and instead of the resulting directory there is an existing file, this was ignored. The return value of
- increased write buffer size, this should improve performance a bit. Storage is usually in 4k blocks and writing in smaller chunks is usually slower than necessary.
- uses the magic of
finally
to prevent resource leaks.
So
unzip(new File("/sdcard/pictures.zip"), new File("/sdcard"));
should do the equivalent of the original
unpackZip("/sdcard/", "pictures.zip")
UTF8 format
. So, I used this code instead which uses apache's commons-compress
lib. –
Wuhsien This is my unzip method, which I use:
private boolean unpackZip(String path, String zipname)
{
InputStream is;
ZipInputStream zis;
try
{
is = new FileInputStream(path + zipname);
zis = new ZipInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is));
ZipEntry ze;
while((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null)
{
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int count;
String filename = ze.getName();
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(path + filename);
// reading and writing
while((count = zis.read(buffer)) != -1)
{
baos.write(buffer, 0, count);
byte[] bytes = baos.toByteArray();
fout.write(bytes);
baos.reset();
}
fout.close();
zis.closeEntry();
}
zis.close();
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return true;
}
The Kotlin way
//FileExt.kt
data class ZipIO (val entry: ZipEntry, val output: File)
fun File.unzip(unzipLocationRoot: File? = null) {
val rootFolder = unzipLocationRoot ?: File(parentFile.absolutePath + File.separator + nameWithoutExtension)
if (!rootFolder.exists()) {
rootFolder.mkdirs()
}
ZipFile(this).use { zip ->
zip
.entries()
.asSequence()
.map {
val outputFile = File(rootFolder.absolutePath + File.separator + it.name)
ZipIO(it, outputFile)
}
.map {
it.output.parentFile?.run{
if (!exists()) mkdirs()
}
it
}
.filter { !it.entry.isDirectory }
.forEach { (entry, output) ->
zip.getInputStream(entry).use { input ->
output.outputStream().use { output ->
input.copyTo(output)
}
}
}
}
}
Usage
val zipFile = File("path_to_your_zip_file")
file.unzip()
Android has build-in Java API. Check out java.util.zip package.
The class ZipInputStream is what you should look into. Read ZipEntry from the ZipInputStream and dump it into filesystem/folder. Check similar example to compress into zip file.
use the following class
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
import android.util.Log;
public class DecompressFast {
private String _zipFile;
private String _location;
public DecompressFast(String zipFile, String location) {
_zipFile = zipFile;
_location = location;
_dirChecker("");
}
public void unzip() {
try {
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(_zipFile);
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(fin);
ZipEntry ze = null;
while ((ze = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {
Log.v("Decompress", "Unzipping " + ze.getName());
if(ze.isDirectory()) {
_dirChecker(ze.getName());
} else {
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(_location + ze.getName());
BufferedOutputStream bufout = new BufferedOutputStream(fout);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read = 0;
while ((read = zin.read(buffer)) != -1) {
bufout.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
bufout.close();
zin.closeEntry();
fout.close();
}
}
zin.close();
Log.d("Unzip", "Unzipping complete. path : " +_location );
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("Decompress", "unzip", e);
Log.d("Unzip", "Unzipping failed");
}
}
private void _dirChecker(String dir) {
File f = new File(_location + dir);
if(!f.isDirectory()) {
f.mkdirs();
}
}
}
How to use
String zipFile = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/the_raven.zip"; //your zip file location
String unzipLocation = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/unzippedtestNew/"; // destination folder location
DecompressFast df= new DecompressFast(zipFile, unzipLocation);
df.unzip();

While the answers that are already here work well, I found that they were slightly slower than I had hoped for. Instead I used zip4j, which I think is the best solution because of its speed. It also allowed for different options for the amount of compression, which I found useful.

Minimal example I used to unzip a specific file from my zipfile into my applications cache folder. I then read the manifest file using a different method.
private void unzipUpdateToCache() {
ZipInputStream zipIs = new ZipInputStream(context.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.update));
ZipEntry ze = null;
try {
while ((ze = zipIs.getNextEntry()) != null) {
if (ze.getName().equals("update/manifest.json")) {
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(context.getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/manifest.json");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
while ((length = zipIs.read(buffer))>0) {
fout.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
zipIs .closeEntry();
fout.close();
}
}
zipIs .close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I'm working with zip files which Java's ZipFile class isn't able to handle. Java 8 apparently can't handle compression method 12 (bzip2 I believe). After trying a number of methods including zip4j (which also fails with these particular files due to another issue), I had success with Apache's commons-compress which supports additional compression methods as mentioned here.
Note that the ZipFile class below is not the one from java.util.zip.
It's actually org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile so be careful with the imports.
try (ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(archiveFile)) {
Enumeration<ZipArchiveEntry> entries = zipFile.getEntries();
while (entries.hasMoreElements()) {
ZipArchiveEntry entry = entries.nextElement();
File entryDestination = new File(destination, entry.getName());
if (entry.isDirectory()) {
entryDestination.mkdirs();
} else {
entryDestination.getParentFile().mkdirs();
try (InputStream in = zipFile.getInputStream(entry); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(entryDestination)) {
IOUtils.copy(in, out);
}
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
log.debug("Error unzipping archive file: " + archiveFile, ex);
}
For Gradle:
compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-compress:1.18'
Based on zapl's answer, adding try()
around Closeable
's closes the streams automatically after use.
public static void unzip(File zipFile, File targetDirectory) {
try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(zipFile)) {
try (BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis)) {
try (ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(bis)) {
ZipEntry ze;
int count;
byte[] buffer = new byte[Constant.DefaultBufferSize];
while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
File file = new File(targetDirectory, ze.getName());
File dir = ze.isDirectory() ? file : file.getParentFile();
if (!dir.isDirectory() && !dir.mkdirs())
throw new FileNotFoundException("Failed to ensure directory: " + dir.getAbsolutePath());
if (ze.isDirectory())
continue;
try (FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
while ((count = zis.read(buffer)) != -1)
fout.write(buffer, 0, count);
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
//handle exception
}
}
Using Constant.DefaultBufferSize
(65536
) gotten from C# .NET 4
Stream.CopyTo from Jon Skeet's answer here:
https://mcmap.net/q/53524/-how-do-i-save-a-stream-to-a-file-in-c
I always just see posts using byte[1024]
or byte[4096]
buffer, never knew it can be much larger which improves performance and is still working perfectly normal.
Here is the Stream
Source code:
https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#mscorlib/system/io/stream.cs
//We pick a value that is the largest multiple of 4096 that is still smaller than the large object heap threshold (85K). // The CopyTo/CopyToAsync buffer is short-lived and is likely to be collected at Gen0, and it offers a significant // improvement in Copy performance. private const int _DefaultCopyBufferSize = 81920;
However, I dialed it back to 65536
which is also a multiple of 4096
just to be safe.
Password Protected Zip File
if you want to compress files with password you can take a look at this library that can zip files with password easily:
Zip:
ZipArchive zipArchive = new ZipArchive();
zipArchive.zip(targetPath,destinationPath,password);
Unzip:
ZipArchive zipArchive = new ZipArchive();
zipArchive.unzip(targetPath,destinationPath,password);
Rar:
RarArchive rarArchive = new RarArchive();
rarArchive.extractArchive(file archive, file destination);
The documentation of this library is good enough, I just added a few examples from there. It's totally free and wrote specially for android.
Here is more concise version of @arsent solution:
fun File.unzip(to: File? = null) {
val destinationDir = to ?: File(parentFile, nameWithoutExtension)
destinationDir.mkdirs()
ZipFile(this).use { zipFile ->
zipFile
.entries()
.asSequence()
.filter { !it.isDirectory }
.forEach { zipEntry ->
val currFile = File(destinationDir, zipEntry.name)
currFile.parentFile?.mkdirs()
zipFile.getInputStream(zipEntry).use { input ->
currFile.outputStream().use { output -> input.copyTo(output) }
}
}
}
}
In Kotlin, this Function can be helpful :
if this path is a internal storage, don't need any permission.
For example
val file = File(context.getDir("Music", AppCompatActivity.MODE_PRIVATE),
"/$myFilename$myExtensionVar")
unpackZipFile(file.path,"zipFileName")
otherwise add permission for read/write external storage.
private fun unpackZipFile(path: String, zipFileName: String): Boolean {
val `is`: InputStream
val zis: ZipInputStream
try {
var filename: String
// Here put the Zip file path
`is` = FileInputStream(path+zipFileName)
zis = ZipInputStream(BufferedInputStream(`is`))
var ze: ZipEntry
val buffer = ByteArray(1024)
var count: Int
while (zis.nextEntry.also { ze = it } != null) {
filename = ze.name
if (ze.isDirectory) {
val fmd = File(path+ filename )
fmd.mkdirs()
continue
}
val fileOutputStream = FileOutputStream(path +filename )
while (zis.read(buffer).also { count = it } != -1) {
fileOutputStream.write(buffer, 0, count)
}
fileOutputStream.close()
zis.closeEntry()
}
zis.close()
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
return false
}catch (e:NullPointerException){
e.printStackTrace()
return false
}
return true
}
