Exception when create zipFile in Android with Zip4j: Probably not a zip file or a corrupted zip file

问题

I meet a problem when using zip4j library to generate zipfile in android, here's the code :

try {
    ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(dest);
    zipFile.setFileNameCharset("GBK");
    if (srcFile.isDirectory()) {
        zipFile.addFolder(srcFile, parameters);
    } else {
        zipFile.addFile(srcFile, parameters);
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

and I got the Exception msg:

    net.lingala.zip4j.exception.ZipException: Probably not a zip file or a corrupted zip file

    at net.lingala.zip4j.core.HeaderReader.readEndOfCentralDirectoryRecord(HeaderReader.java:117)

This code works perfect in Eclipse for local files, but does not work well in Android, I'm pretty sure the destination .zip path is correct, and the zip4j library version is 1.3.2.

could anyone give me any suggestion?

回答1:

I came across very similar stacktrace. However, I use java and zip4j in version 1.3.2 on desktop. I am not sure how my answer is relevant to android but here it goes.

My stacktrace

I use zip4j like this

Path destination = Files.createTempFile("export", ".zip");
ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(destination.toFile());

To fix the problem I changed to

File destination = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"), UUID.randomUUID().toString());
ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(destination);

The difference is Files.createTempFile() creates empty file and the file must screw up ZipFile's constructor. When I passed File with unoccupied path, the problem was gone.

I met with the same question because of I used AES encryption but didn't set the parameters AES data key.
