public static final int OPEN_DELETE

Mode flag to open a zip file and mark it for deletion. The file will be deleted some time between the moment that it is opened and the moment that it is closed, but its contents will remain accessible via the ZipFile object until either the close method is invoked or the virtual machine exits.

Constant Value: 4

public static final int OPEN_READ

Mode flag to open a zip file for reading.

Constant Value: 1

Public Constructors

public ZipFile (String name)

Opens a zip file for reading.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

The UTF-8 charset is used to decode the entry names and comments.

Parameters
name the name of the zip file
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred
SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkRead method doesn't allow read access to the file.

public ZipFile (File file, int mode)

Opens a new ZipFile to read from the specified File object in the specified mode. The mode argument must be either OPEN_READ or OPEN_READ | OPEN_DELETE.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

The UTF-8 charset is used to decode the entry names and comments

Parameters
file the ZIP file to be opened for reading
mode the mode in which the file is to be opened
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred
SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkRead method doesn't allow read access to the file, or its checkDelete method doesn't allow deleting the file when the OPEN_DELETE flag is set.
IllegalArgumentException if the mode argument is invalid

public ZipFile (File file)

Opens a ZIP file for reading given the specified File object.

The UTF-8 charset is used to decode the entry names and comments.

Parameters
file the ZIP file to be opened for reading
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred

public ZipFile (File file, int mode, Charset charset)

Opens a new ZipFile to read from the specified File object in the specified mode. The mode argument must be either OPEN_READ or OPEN_READ | OPEN_DELETE.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

Parameters
file the ZIP file to be opened for reading
mode the mode in which the file is to be opened
charset the {@linkplain java.nio.charset.Charset charset} to be used to decode the ZIP entry name and comment that are not encoded by using UTF-8 encoding (indicated by entry's general purpose flag).
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred
SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkRead method doesn't allow read access to the file,or its checkDelete method doesn't allow deleting the file when the OPEN_DELETE flag is set
IllegalArgumentException if the mode argument is invalid

public ZipFile (String name, Charset charset)

Opens a zip file for reading.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

Parameters
name the name of the zip file
charset the {@linkplain java.nio.charset.Charset charset} to be used to decode the ZIP entry name and comment that are not encoded by using UTF-8 encoding (indicated by entry's general purpose flag).
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred
SecurityException if a security manager exists and its checkRead method doesn't allow read access to the file

public ZipFile (File file, Charset charset)

Opens a ZIP file for reading given the specified File object.

Parameters
file the ZIP file to be opened for reading
charset The {@linkplain java.nio.charset.Charset charset} to be used to decode the ZIP entry name and comment (ignored if the language encoding bit of the ZIP entry's general purpose bit flag is set).
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred

Public Methods

public void close ()

Closes the ZIP file.

Closing this ZIP file will close all of the input streams previously returned by invocations of the getInputStream method.

Throws
IOException if an I/O error has occurred

public Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries ()

Returns an enumeration of the ZIP file entries.

Returns
  • an enumeration of the ZIP file entries
Throws
IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed

public String getComment ()

Returns the zip file comment, or null if none.

Returns
  • the comment string for the zip file, or null if none
Throws
IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed Since 1.7

public ZipEntry getEntry (String name)

Returns the zip file entry for the specified name, or null if not found.

Parameters
name the name of the entry
Returns
  • the zip file entry, or null if not found
Throws
IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed

public InputStream getInputStream (ZipEntry entry)

Returns an input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.

Closing this ZIP file will, in turn, close all input streams that have been returned by invocations of this method.

Parameters
entry the zip file entry
Returns
  • the input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.
Throws
ZipException if a ZIP format error has occurred
IOException if an I/O error has occurred
IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed

public String getName ()

Returns the path name of the ZIP file.

Returns
  • the path name of the ZIP file

public int size ()

Returns the number of entries in the ZIP file.

Returns
  • the number of entries in the ZIP file
Throws
IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed

public Stream<? extends ZipEntry> stream ()

Return an ordered Stream over the ZIP file entries. Entries appear in the Stream in the order they appear in the central directory of the ZIP file.

Returns
  • an ordered Stream of entries in this ZIP file
Throws
IllegalStateException if the zip file has been closed

Protected Methods

protected void finalize ()

Ensures that the system resources held by this ZipFile object are released when there are no more references to it.

Since the time when GC would invoke this method is undetermined, it is strongly recommended that applications invoke the close method as soon they have finished accessing this ZipFile. This will prevent holding up system resources for an undetermined length of time.

Throws
IOException if an I/O error has occurred
