java - Unzipping files programmatically in Android

Question

I am downloading a zip folder and saving in specific folder in my Android device. My application is not accessing the folder as it is zipped. I would like to unzip the folder after downloading from server and save in specific folder.

And my code is here:

public void DownloadDatabase(String DownloadUrl, String fileName) {
    try {
        File root = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
        File dir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/timy/databases");
        if(dir.exists() == false){
             dir.mkdirs();  
        }

        URL url = new URL("http://myexample.com/android/timy.zip");
        File file = new File(dir,fileName);

        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Log.d("DownloadManager" , "download url:" +url);
        Log.d("DownloadManager" , "download file name:" + fileName);

        URLConnection uconn = url.openConnection();
        uconn.setConnectTimeout(TIMEOUT_SOCKET);

        InputStream is = uconn.getInputStream();

        ZipInputStream zipinstream = new ZipInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(is));
        ZipEntry zipEntry;

        while((zipEntry = zipinstream.getNextEntry()) != null){
            String zipEntryName = zipEntry.getName();
            File file1 = new File(file + zipEntryName);
            if(file1.exists()){

            }else{
                if(zipEntry.isDirectory()){
                    file1.mkdirs();
                }
            }
        }

        BufferedInputStream bufferinstream = new BufferedInputStream(is);

        ByteArrayBuffer baf = new ByteArrayBuffer(5000);
        int current = 0;
        while((current = bufferinstream.read()) != -1){
            baf.append((byte) current);
        }

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( file);
        fos.write(baf.toByteArray());
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
        Log.d("DownloadManager" , "download ready in" + ((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime)/1000) + "sec");
    }
    catch(IOException e) {
        Log.d("DownloadManager" , "Error:" + e);
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

And my logcat is showing on error. Just folder is creating in my device and no files are downloading with unzipped. Without using inputZipStream method then my zipped folder is downloading and saving in sdcard. When I want to unzip it, it is not happening.

This article is about how to write a utility class for extracting files and directories in a compressed zip archive, using built-in Java API.

The java.util.zip package provides the following classes for extracting files and directories from a ZIP archive:

ZipInputStream: this is the main class which can be used for reading zip file and extracting files and directories (entries) within the archive. Here are some important usages of this class: -read a zip via its constructor ZipInputStream(FileInputStream) -read entries of files and directories via method getNextEntry() -read binary data of current entry via method read(byte) -close current entry via method closeEntry() -close the zip file via method close()

ZipEntry: this class represents an entry in the zip file. Each file or directory is represented as a ZipEntry object. Its method getName() returns a String which represents path of the file/directory. The path is in the following form: folder_1/subfolder_1/subfolder_2/…/subfolder_n/file.ext

Based on the path of a ZipEntry, we re-create directory structure when extracting the zip file.

Below class is used for unzip download zip and extract file and store your desire location.

  public class UnzipUtil
  {
     private String zipFile;
     private String location;

  public UnzipUtil(String zipFile, String location)
  {
     this.zipFile = zipFile;
     this.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());     

 byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
 int len;
 while ((len = zin.read(buffer)) != -1)
 {
  fout.write(buffer, 0, len);
 }
 fout.close();

 zin.closeEntry();

}

    }
      zin.close();
    }
     catch(Exception e)
     {
          Log.e("Decompress", "unzip", e);
     }

  }

   private void dirChecker(String dir)
   {
         File f = new File(location + dir);
         if(!f.isDirectory())
          {
            f.mkdirs();
          }
         }
    }
