Reading files from a ZIP file in your Android assets folder

Question

I\'m reading files from a ZIP file that\'s located in my Android assets folder using ZipInputStream: it works, but it\'s really slow, as it has to read it seque

Answer 1

You can store the uncompressed files directly in assets (i.e. unpack the zip into assets/ folder). This way, you can access the files directly and they will be compressed anyway when you build the APK.
