B4i Library iArchiver - Zip / Unzip

[Erel]

This small library allows you to zip folders and unzip zip files.

It is based on this open source project: https://github.com/soffes/ssziparchive


Library installation

The zip file contains three files with the following extensions: .xml, .a and .h.
You need to copy the xml file to the internal libraries folder on the Windows computer.
If you are using a local Mac builder then you need to copy the .a and .h files to the Mac Libs folder.

How do I know when the zip file is done unzipping?

 

[Erel]

archiver.Unzip(...)
Log("Done unzipping")

 

[cbanks]

Can you add an asynchronous method? I have large files to unzip and my app becomes unresponsive while unzipping.

 

[Erel]

Yes. v1.01 is attached to the first post. It includes two new methods: AsyncZipFolder and AsyncUnzip.

Dim av As Archiver
av.AsyncUnzip(File.DirDocuments, "1.zip", File.DirTemp, "", "av")

Sub av_UnzipDone (Success As Boolean)
   Log(Success)
   Log(File.ListFiles(File.DirTemp))
End Sub
Sub av_ZipDone (Success As Boolean)
   Log(Success)
   Log(File.Size(File.DirDocuments, "1.zip"))
End Sub

Sorry, I'm sure this is a dumb question but I don't understand where to put the xml file - I get an error if I put it in the B4 Additional Libraries folder.

Also can it be used for both B4A and B4j

This is a B4i (iOS) Library.

As Erel said:
"You need to copy the xml file to the internal libraries folder on the Windows computer"

Not additional

Ok thanks, then I can't use it

 

[Erel]

You can use this library for B4A and B4J: [Lib] Archiver

Thanks Erel for clearing that up, that's what I understood from your original post. Sorry about my ignorance of Windows, but I still don't understand what the internal libraries folder in Windows is

 

[Erel]

The iArchiver library should already be included in the IDE. You don't need to copy it at all.

The internal libraries folder is under Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\B4i\Libraries.

Thanks as always for your prompt and informative response

V1.20 is attached to the first post. It is based on the latest version of SSZipArchive (1.6.2).
