gzipinputstream

How can you read GZIP file in Android located in the "ASSETS" (or resources/raw) folder? I have tried the following code, but my stream size is always 1. GZIPInputStream fIn = new GZIPInputStream(mContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.myfilegz)); int size = fIn.available(); for some reason the size is always 1. But if Idon't GZIP the file, it works fine. NOTE: Using Android 1.5 I met the same problem when reading a gz file from assets folder. It's caused by the file name of the gz file. Just renaming yourfile.gz to other name like yourfile.bin. It seems Android build system would

I have a GZIPInputStream that I constructed from another ByteArrayInputStream . I want to know the original (uncompressed) length for the gzip data. Although I can read to the end of the GZIPInputStream , then count the number, it will cost much time and waste CPU. I would like to know the size before read it. Is there a similiar method like ZipEntry.getSize() for GZIPInputStream : public long getSize () Since: API Level 1 Gets the uncompressed size of this ZipEntry. Is there a similiar method like ZipEntry.getSize() for GZIPInputStream No. It's not in the Javadoc => it doesn't exist. What do

How can i decompress a String that was zipped by PHP gzcompress() function? Any full examples? thx I tried it now like this: public static String unzipString(String zippedText) throws Exception { ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(zippedText.getBytes("UTF-8")); GZIPInputStream gzis = new GZIPInputStream(bais); InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(gzis); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(reader); String unzipped = ""; while ((unzipped = in.readLine()) != null) unzipped+=unzipped; return unzipped; } but it's not working if i i'm trying to unzip a PHP gzcompress

First of all, I'm sorry if my terminology is a bit amateur, try to bear with me ;) I am attempting to convert the gzipped body of a HTTP response to plaintext. I've taken the byte array of this response and converted it to a ByteArrayInputStream. I've then converted this to a GZIPInputStream. I now want to read the GZIPInputStream and store the final decompressed HTTP response body as a plaintext String. This code will store the final decompressed contents in an OutputStream, but I want to store the contents as a String: public static int sChunk = 8192; ByteArrayInputStream bais = new

I am trying to use the following Java code to compress and uncompress a String. But the line that creates a new GZipInputStream object out of a new ByteArrayInputStream object throws a "java.util.zip.ZipException: Not in GZIP format" exception. Does anyone know how to solve this? String orig = "............."; // compress it ByteArrayOutputStream baostream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); OutputStream outStream = new GZIPOutputStream(baostream); outStream.write(orig.getBytes()); outStream.close(); String compressedStr = baostream.toString(); // uncompress it InputStream inStream = new
