Program: How to zip multiple files?


Description:

Below example shows how to zip multiple files using ZipOutputStream class. putNextEntry() method starts adding into the zip, and ZipEntry represents a file entry into the zip.


Code:
package com.java2novice.zip;

import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;

public class MyMultipleFileZip {

	public void zipFiles(List<String> files){
		
		FileOutputStream fos = null;
        ZipOutputStream zipOut = null;
        FileInputStream fis = null;
		try {
			fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/testing.zip");
			zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(fos));
			for(String filePath:files){
				File input = new File(filePath);
				fis = new FileInputStream(input);
				ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(input.getName());
				System.out.println("Zipping the file: "+input.getName());
				zipOut.putNextEntry(ze);
				byte[] tmp = new byte[4*1024];
				int size = 0;
				while((size = fis.read(tmp)) != -1){
					zipOut.write(tmp, 0, size);
				}
				zipOut.flush();
				fis.close();
			}
			zipOut.close();
			System.out.println("Done... Zipped the files...");
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} finally{
			try{
				if(fos != null) fos.close();
			} catch(Exception ex){
				
			}
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		MyMultipleFileZip mfe = new MyMultipleFileZip();
		List<String> files = new ArrayList<String>();
		files.add("C:/test.txt");
		files.add("C:/test.sh");
		files.add("C:/port-chn.txt");
		mfe.zipFiles(files);
	}
}


Output:
Zipping the file: test.txt
Zipping the file: test.sh
Zipping the file: port-chn.txt
Done... Zipped the files...
