Constructor Index

 o ZipInputStream(InputStream)
Creates a new ZIP input stream.

Method Index

 o close()
Closes the ZIP input stream.
 o closeEntry()
Closes the current ZIP entry and positions the stream for reading the next entry.
 o getNextEntry()
Reads the next ZIP file entry and positions stream at the beginning of the entry data.
 o read(byte[], int, int)
Reads from the current ZIP entry into an array of bytes.
 o skip(long)
Skips specified number of bytes in the current ZIP entry.

Constructors

 o ZipInputStream
 public ZipInputStream(InputStream in)
Creates a new ZIP input stream.

Parameters:
in - the actual input stream

Methods

 o getNextEntry
 public ZipEntry getNextEntry() throws IOException
Reads the next ZIP file entry and positions stream at the beginning of the entry data.

Throws: ZipException
if a ZIP file error has occurred
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error has occurred
 o closeEntry
 public void closeEntry() throws IOException
Closes the current ZIP entry and positions the stream for reading the next entry.

Throws: ZipException
if a ZIP file error has occurred
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error has occurred
 o read
 public int read(byte b[],
                 int off,
                 int len) throws IOException
Reads from the current ZIP entry into an array of bytes. Blocks until some input is available.

Parameters:
b - the buffer into which the data is read
off - the start offset of the data
len - the maximum number of bytes read
Returns:
the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the entry is reached
Throws: ZipException
if a ZIP file error has occurred
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error has occurred
Overrides:
read in class InflaterInputStream
 o skip
 public long skip(long n) throws IOException
Skips specified number of bytes in the current ZIP entry.

Parameters:
n - the number of bytes to skip
Returns:
the actual number of bytes skipped
Throws: ZipException
if a ZIP file error has occurred
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error has occurred
Overrides:
skip in class InflaterInputStream
 o close
 public void close() throws IOException
Closes the ZIP input stream.

Throws: IOException
if an I/O error has occurred
