ZipEntry

extends Object
implements Cloneable
java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.util.zip.ZipEntry
Known Direct Subclasses

Class Overview

An entry within a zip file. An entry has attributes such as its name (which is actually a path) and the uncompressed size of the corresponding data. An entry does not contain the data itself, but can be used as a key with getInputStream(ZipEntry) . The class documentation for ZipInputStream and ZipOutputStream shows how ZipEntry is used in conjunction with those two classes.

Public Constructors

public ZipEntry ( String name)

Added in API level 1

Constructs a new ZipEntry with the specified name. The name is actually a path, and may contain / characters.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the name length is outside the range (> 0xFFFF).

public ZipEntry ( ZipEntry ze)

Added in API level 1

Constructs a new ZipEntry using the values obtained from ze .

Parameters
ze the ZipEntry from which to obtain values.

Public Methods

public Object clone ()

Added in API level 1

Returns a deep copy of this zip entry.

Returns
  • a copy of this object.

public String getComment ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the comment for this ZipEntry , or null if there is no comment. If we're reading a zip file using ZipInputStream , the comment is not available.

public long getCompressedSize ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the compressed size of this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the compressed size, or -1 if the compressed size has not been set.

public long getCrc ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the checksum for this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the checksum, or -1 if the checksum has not been set.

public byte[] getExtra ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the extra information for this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • a byte array containing the extra information, or null if there is none.

public int getMethod ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the compression method for this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the compression method, either DEFLATED , STORED or -1 if the compression method has not been set.

public String getName ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the name of this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the entry name.

public long getSize ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the uncompressed size of this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the uncompressed size, or -1 if the size has not been set.

public long getTime ()

Added in API level 1

Gets the last modification time of this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the last modification time as the number of milliseconds since Jan. 1, 1970.

public int hashCode ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the hash code for this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the hash code of the entry.

public boolean isDirectory ()

Added in API level 1

Determine whether or not this ZipEntry is a directory.

Returns
  • true when this ZipEntry is a directory, false otherwise.

public void setComment ( String comment)

Added in API level 1

Sets the comment for this ZipEntry .

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the comment is >= 64 Ki UTF-8 bytes.

public void setCompressedSize (long value)

Added in API level 1

Sets the compressed size for this ZipEntry .

Parameters
value the compressed size (in bytes).

public void setCrc (long value)

Added in API level 1

Sets the checksum for this ZipEntry .

Parameters
value the checksum for this entry.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if value is < 0 or > 0xFFFFFFFFL.

public void setExtra (byte[] data)

Added in API level 1

Sets the extra information for this ZipEntry .

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the data length >= 64 KiB.

public void setMethod (int value)

Added in API level 1

Sets the compression method for this entry to either DEFLATED or STORED . The default is DEFLATED , which will cause the size, compressed size, and CRC to be set automatically, and the entry's data to be compressed. If you switch to STORED note that you'll have to set the size (or compressed size; they must be the same, but it's okay to only set one) and CRC yourself because they must appear before the user data in the resulting zip file. See setSize(long) and setCrc(long) .

Throws
IllegalArgumentException when value is not DEFLATED or STORED .

public void setSize (long value)

Added in API level 1

Sets the uncompressed size of this ZipEntry .

Parameters
value the uncompressed size for this entry.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if value < 0 or value > 0xFFFFFFFFL.

public void setTime (long value)

Added in API level 1

Sets the modification time of this ZipEntry .

Parameters
value the modification time as the number of milliseconds since Jan. 1, 1970.

public String toString ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the string representation of this ZipEntry .

Returns
  • the string representation of this ZipEntry .
