Class Overview

This class provides random read access to a ZIP-archive file.

While ZipInputStream provides stream based read access to a ZIP-archive, this class implements more efficient (file based) access and makes use of the central directory within a ZIP-archive.

Use ZipOutputStream if you want to create an archive.

A temporary ZIP file can be marked for automatic deletion upon closing it.

Public Constructors

public ZipFile (File file)

Since: API Level 1

Constructs a new ZipFile with the specified file.

Parameters
file the file to read from.
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP error occurs.
IOException if an IOException occurs.

public ZipFile (File file, int mode)

Since: API Level 1

Opens a file as ZIP-archive. "mode" must be OPEN_READ or OPEN_DELETE . The latter sets the "delete on exit" flag through a file.

Parameters
file the ZIP file to read.
mode the mode of the file open operation.
Throws
IOException if an IOException occurs.

public ZipFile (String name)

Since: API Level 1

Opens a ZIP archived file.

Parameters
name the name of the ZIP file.
Throws
IOException if an IOException occurs.

Public Methods

public void close ()

Since: API Level 1

Closes this ZIP file.

Throws
IOException if an IOException occurs.

public Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns an enumeration of the entries. The entries are listed in the order in which they appear in the ZIP archive.

Returns
  • the enumeration of the entries.

public ZipEntry getEntry (String entryName)

Since: API Level 1

Gets the ZIP entry with the specified name from this ZipFile.

Parameters
entryName the name of the entry in the ZIP file.
Returns
  • a ZipEntry or null if the entry name does not exist in the ZIP file.

public InputStream getInputStream (ZipEntry entry)

Since: API Level 1

Returns an input stream on the data of the specified ZipEntry.

Parameters
entry the ZipEntry.
Returns
  • an input stream of the data contained in the ZipEntry.
Throws
IOException if an IOException occurs.

public String getName ()

Since: API Level 1

Gets the file name of this ZipFile.

Returns
  • the file name of this ZipFile.

public int size ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns the number of ZipEntries in this ZipFile.

Returns
  • the number of entries in this file.

Protected Methods

protected void finalize ()

Since: API Level 1

Is called before the object's memory is being reclaimed by the VM. This can only happen once the VM has detected, during a run of the garbage collector, that the object is no longer reachable by any thread of the running application.

The method can be used to free system resources or perform other cleanup before the object is garbage collected. The default implementation of the method is empty, which is also expected by the VM, but subclasses can override finalize() as required. Uncaught exceptions which are thrown during the execution of this method cause it to terminate immediately but are otherwise ignored.

Note that the VM does guarantee that finalize() is called at most once for any object, but it doesn't guarantee when (if at all) finalize() will be called. For example, object B's finalize() can delay the execution of object A's finalize() method and therefore it can delay the reclamation of A's memory. To be safe, use a ReferenceQueue, because it provides more control over the way the VM deals with references during garbage collection.

Throws
IOException
