I have a 7zip
archive which contains some hundred files separated into different directories. The target is to download it from a FTP server and then extract it on the phone.
My problem is that the 7zip
SDK doesn't contain a lot. I am looking for examples, tutorials and snippets regarding the decompression of 7z files.
(Decompression via Intent
is only a secondary option)
Go here:
LZMA SDK just provides the encoder and decoder for encoding/decoding the raw data, but 7z archive is a complex format for storing multiple files.
i found this page that provides an alternative that works like a charm. You only have to add compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-compress:1.8'
to your build gradle script and use the feature you desire. For this issue i did the following :
AssetManager am = getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = null;
try {
inputStream = am.open("a7ZipedFile.7z");
File file1 = createFileFromInputStream(inputStream);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
SevenZFile sevenZFile = null;
try{
File f = new File(this.getFilesDir(), "a7ZipedFile.7z");
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(f);
byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
while((length=inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer,0,length);
}
try {
sevenZFile = new SevenZFile(f);
SevenZArchiveEntry entry = sevenZFile.getNextEntry();
while (entry != null) {
System.out.println(entry.getName());
FileOutputStream out = openFileOutput(entry.getName(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
byte[] content = new byte[(int) entry.getSize()];
sevenZFile.read(content, 0, content.length);
out.write(content);
out.close();
entry = sevenZFile.getNextEntry();
}
sevenZFile.close();
outputStream.close();
inputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}catch (IOException e) {
//Logging exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
The only draw back is approximately 200k for the imported library. Other than that it is really easy to use.
