How to extract zip file in java.

In this Example, we will discuss how to extract a ZIP file. We will use ZipInputStream class for creating input stream that take input from ZIP file. The ZipInputStream class is available in java.util.zip package.

With the help of example code, we can extract given file. The ZipInputStream class will create a input stream and read entry from given Zip file. The getNextEntry method of ZipInputStream class is used to read next ZIP file entry and put the stream at the beginning of the entry data, and the getName method of ZipEntry class return the name of associated entry. The write( byte b, int offset, int length) method of FileOutputStream class is used to write array of bytes..

About ZIPOutputStream API:

The java.util.zip.ZIPInputStream class extends java.io.InflaterIntputStream class. It provides following methods:

Return Type	Method	Description
void	close()	The close() is use to close all associated stream.
void	closeEntry()	The closeEntry() method close currently associated stream and put input stream to read next entry..
protected zipentry	createZipEntry()	The createZipEntry() method create new object for given entry name.
zipentry	getNextEntry()	The getNextEntry() method read next ZIP file entry and put stream at the beginning of the entry data.
int	read( byte b, int off, int len )	The read (.....) method read from associated ZIP entry into array of bytes.
long	skip( int n)	Function skip specified number from input stream.

Code


import java.io.*;

import java.util.zip.*;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;

import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;



public class ExtractZipFile {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    String fName = "bharat.zip";

    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];

    ZipInputStream zinstream = new ZipInputStream(

        new FileInputStream(fName));

    ZipEntry zentry = zinstream.getNextEntry();

    System.out.println("Name of current Zip Entry : " + zentry + "\n");

    while (zentry != null) {

      String entryName = zentry.getName();

      System.out.println("Name of  Zip Entry : " + entryName);

      FileOutputStream outstream = new FileOutputStream(entryName);

      int n;



      while ((n = zinstream.read(buf, 0, 1024)) > -1) {

        outstream.write(buf, 0, n);



      }

      System.out.println("Successfully Extracted File Name : "

          + entryName);

      outstream.close();



      zinstream.closeEntry();

      zentry = zinstream.getNextEntry();

    }

    zinstream.close();

  }

}

Following is the output if you run the application:

C:\>java ExtractZipFile
Name of current Zip Entry : testfile2.txt
Name of Zip Entry : testfile2.txt
Successfully Extracted File Name : testfile2.txt
Name of Zip Entry : testfeli1.txt
Successfully Extracted File Name : testfeli1.txt
