Uzip folders recursively -android


I have tried to unzip a zipped file (This file contains many sub-folders and files).

I am not able to create sub-folders while unzipping the file.

Each time I am getting an error saying:

No such file or directory.

I have searched a lot about this like:

  1. Android - Unzip a folder?
  2. http://www.roseindia.net/tutorial/java/corejava/zip/ZipIsDirectory.html
  3. Unzip a zipped file on sd card in Android application
  4. How to unzip files recursively in Java?

But, nothing helped me.

Following is what I have tried:

public class UnZipper {

    private static final String TAG = "UnZip";
    private String mFileName, mDestinationPath;

    public UnZipper(String fileName, String destinationPath) {
        mFileName = fileName;
        mDestinationPath = destinationPath;
    }

    public String getFileName() {
        return mFileName;
    }

    public String getDestinationPath() {
        return mDestinationPath;
    }

    // shrikant
    public void unzip() {
        String fullPath = mFileName;
        Log.d(TAG, "unzipping " + mFileName + " to " + mDestinationPath);
        doInBackground(fullPath, mDestinationPath);
    }

    // shrikant: I have changed return type from Boolean to boolean.
    protected boolean doInBackground(String filePath, String destinationPath) {

        File archive = new File(filePath);
        boolean returnValue = false;
        try {
            ZipFile zipfile = new ZipFile(archive);

            for (Enumeration e = zipfile.entries(); e.hasMoreElements();) {

                ZipEntry entry = (ZipEntry) e.nextElement();
                try {
                    unzipEntry(zipfile, entry, destinationPath);
                    Log.d("Unzipped", entry.getName());
                    returnValue = true;
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    Log.e(TAG,
                            "Error while extracting file: " + entry
                                    + ex.getMessage());
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Error while extracting file " + archive, e);
            // return false;
        }
        return returnValue;
    }

    // shrikant: I have changed return type from void to boolean.
    /**

     *

     */
    private void unzipEntry(ZipFile zipfile, ZipEntry entry, String outputDir)
            throws IOException {
        Log.d("CURRENT ZIP", entry.getName());
        String _dir = null, fileName = null;
        if (entry.getName().contains("\\")) {

            _dir = entry.getName().substring(0, entry.getName().indexOf('\\'));
            createDir(new File(outputDir, _dir));
            fileName = entry.getName().substring(entry.getName().indexOf('\\'));
        }

        // Change by Prashant : To Remove "/" from file Name Date : 5/01/2011
        if (fileName.toString().startsWith("\\")) {
            fileName = fileName.substring(1); // End
        }

        if (_dir != "")
            outputDir = outputDir + "/" + _dir;

        File outputFile = new File(outputDir, fileName);
        if (!outputFile.getParentFile().exists()) {
            createDir(outputFile.getParentFile());
        }
        Log.d("OUTPUT FILE", outputDir + fileName);
        Log.v(TAG, "Extracting: " + entry);

        Log.d("FOUND inside unzipEntry()", entry.getName());

        BufferedInputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(
                zipfile.getInputStream(entry));

// **here I am getting error.**

        BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(
                new FileOutputStream(outputFile));

// **above line.**

        try {
            copy(inputStream, outputStream);
        } finally {
            outputStream.close();
            inputStream.close();
        }

    }

    private void createDir(File dir) {
        if (dir.exists()) {
            return;
        }
        Log.v(TAG, "Creating dir " + dir.getName());
        if (!dir.mkdirs()) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Cannot create dir " + dir);
        }
    }

    private void copy(BufferedInputStream input, BufferedOutputStream output)
            throws IOException {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
        int size;
        while ((size = input.read(buffer)) != -1)
            output.write(buffer, 0, size);
    }

}

My question is: (Please look at the code)

When I am calling unzipEntry(), when it encounters a sub-folder, it passes something like "/data/abc.ext", but my file system does not contain any folder named as "data", I even tried to create it, but failed in doing so.

So how to create sub-folders from zipped file to destination path??

I have even tried method:

if(entry.isDirectory) {
// create directory
}

But this doesn't get called, since unzipEntry() (Please look in for() loop) directly passes the file under sub-folder.

Please help me on this.

Thank you.


Solution

  • Ohh Yes! I have solved it.. :)

    I have written following function that will create sub-folders recursively if required.

    This is tried and tested function that will successfully unzips any file.

        /**
         * Unzips the file (recursively creates sub-folder if exists.)
         * 
         * @param tempFileName
         *            The zip file.
         * @param destinationPath
         *            The destination path where unzipped file will be saved.
         */
        public void unzipFile(String tempFileName, String destinationPath) {
            try {
    
                int index = destinationPath.lastIndexOf("\\");
                String fileString = destinationPath.substring(index);
    
                File extFile = new File("/mnt/sdcard/courses1", fileString);
                if(!extFile.exists()) {
                    createDir(extFile);
                }
    
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    
                FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(tempFileName);
                ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(fin);
                ZipEntry zipentry = null;
                if (!(zin.available() == 0)) {
                    byte[] startBuffer = new byte[8];
    
                    while ((zipentry = zin.getNextEntry()) != null) {
                        String zipName = zipentry.getName();
                        if (zipName.startsWith("/")) {
                            zipName = zipentry.getName();
                        } else if (zipName.startsWith("\\")) {
                            zipName = zipentry.getName();
                        } else {
                            zipName = "/" + zipentry.getName();
                        }
    
                        String fileName = destinationPath + zipName;
                        fileName = fileName.replace("\\", "/");
                        fileName = fileName.replace("//", "/");
    
                        if (zipentry.isDirectory()) {
                            createDir(new File(fileName));
                            continue;
                        }
    
                        String name = zipentry.getName();

                        while (true) {
    
                            start = name.indexOf('\\', end);
                            end = name.indexOf('\\', start + 1);

                            if (end > start && end > -1 && start > -1) {
                                String dir = name.substring(1, end);
    
                                createDir(new File(destinationPath + '/' + dir));

                                break;

                        File file = new File(fileName);
    
                        FileOutputStream tempDexOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
                        int BytesRead = 0;
    
                        if (zipentry != null) {
                            if (zin != null) {
                                while ((BytesRead = zin.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                                    tempDexOut.write(buffer, 0, BytesRead);
                                }
                                tempDexOut.close();
                            }
                        }

                Log.e("Exception", e.getMessage());

    I hope it helps someone. :)
