HB Blog 104: How To Zip And Unzip Files In Androd Programatically???

ZIP is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. A .ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. .ZIP files generally use the file extensions ".zip" or ".ZIP" and the MIME media type application/zip.

In Android, we can use Java's zip utility classes to compress files from sd-card. The process is as simple as normal file writing program. Just, consider normal file writing program where you copy textual data from one file to another file having extension as .txt, similarly, we can write files into another file format with extension .zip. Here, internal compression algorithum is taken care by Java's utility classes.

Refer the below link for complete sample code:-
