I want to create a zipfile from a couple of specific files in a directory can anyone assist in how to do this with Archiver? Thanks

Use the forumsearch for an Example
Note that the library is an Android Library. You may search the B4A Forums too

You can use jShell and control 7Zip with it (see the docs of 7Zip how to create an archive and add files to it). Example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/dump-zip-ftp-upload-a-mysql-db.65345/

Like this?

Dim Zip As Archiver
Dim toZip() As String 'This array will contain all the files you want to zip

toZip = Array As String("File1.txt", "File2.txt", "File3.txt")
Zip.AsyncZipFiles(File.DirDefaultExternal & "/SomeDirectory/", toZip, File.DirDefaultExternal, "MyZipFile.zip", "Zip")




Sub Zip_ZipDone(Success As Boolean, FilesInZip As Int)
    ToastMessageShow(Success & "  " & FilesInZip, False)
End Sub

Strange, I could not get the code to work properly. The zip archieve does not contain the files I specified. Can someone please test this and confirm that it works?

Oops ok sorry I got it working. The path to the source directory was not right. All my own misstake.
