Here is a class unzipping files from a zip file and recreating the directory tree as well.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipFile;
public class ExtractZipContents {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Open the zip file
ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile("Meow.zip");
Enumeration> enu = zipFile.entries();
while (enu.hasMoreElements()) {
ZipEntry zipEntry = (ZipEntry) enu.nextElement();
String name = zipEntry.getName();
long size = zipEntry.getSize();
long compressedSize = zipEntry.getCompressedSize();
System.out.printf("name: %-20s | size: %6d | compressed size: %6d\n",
name, size, compressedSize);
// Do we need to create a directory ?
File file = new File(name);
if (name.endsWith("/")) {
file.mkdirs();
continue;
}
File parent = file.getParentFile();
if (parent != null) {
parent.mkdirs();
}
// Extract the file
InputStream is = zipFile.getInputStream(zipEntry);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = is.read(bytes)) >= 0) {
fos.write(bytes, 0, length);
}
is.close();
fos.close();
}
zipFile.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
