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 create a ZipInputStream in the following way :

ZipInputStream zipIs = new ZipInputStream(context.getResources().openRawResource(your.package.com.R.raw.filename)); 
ZipEntry ze = null;

        while ((ze = zipIs.getNextEntry()) != null) {

            FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(FOLDER_NAME +"/"+ ze.getName());

            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();
