Android Question Zip multiple files with ABZipUnzip

[Hirogens]

Hello, how can I zip 3 files ? Because with ABZipUnzip I can zip 1 file :/

You can use ZipArchiverPlus from the Pro Bundle or the old Archiver lib but i suggest to directly use the one from the Pro Bundle.

You also can create a folder with the files and zip this folder.

ABZipUnzip is one of the oldest libs I wrote when I started with B4A (I was still learning java). You are better of with one of the newer libraries.

Any ideas ?

Edit: my line is : myZip.AddFilesToZip(files_to_zip, shared, "ZipResult")
shared is equal to shared = Starter.rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("GPS_Location")

You don't have to use libraries created by others. It just makes you depended of those developers and you have to trust that those developers maintain there libs in future too.

Here's example for you. Let's call it ZipManager. Now you can always edit the class and mod it how you like.

Example of use:

Dim zm As ZipManager
zm.Initialize

zm.Zip(Array As String(File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"image1.png"),File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"image2.png")),File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"myimages.zip"))
If zm.UnZip(File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"myimages.zip"),File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"unzipped")) Then
    Log("success")
Else
    Log("failed")
End If

Wait For (zm.ZipAsync(Array As String(File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"image1.png"),File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"image2.png")),File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"myimages.zip"))) Complete(Success As Boolean)
Log("zip success " & Success)
If Success Then
    Wait For (zm.UnZipAsync(File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"myimages.zip"),File.Combine(File.DirInternal,"images"))) Complete(Success As Boolean)
    Log("unzip success " & Success)
End If
