Android: read a GZIP file in the ASSETS folder

Question

How can you read GZIP file in Android located in the \"ASSETS\" (or resources/raw) folder?

I have tried the following code, but my stream size is always 1.

Answer 1

What happens if you use AssetManager instead of Resources? Example:

InputStream is = mContext.getAssets().open("myfilegz");
GZIPInputStream fIn = new GZIPINputStream(is);

Internally, Resources is just calling AssetManager; I wonder if somewhere along the way it musses things up.
