Question

Is it possible to get a file as InputStream from the zipped file? I only know this one here: How to extract a single file from a remote archive file? which gives me just the bytes of the file.

so is there any functionality to have a method like this: InputStream getFile(String path, File zipFile) where the path is the path inside the ziped File?

Answer 1

Try with this:

ZipFile zf = new ZipFile(file);
try {
  InputStream in = zf.getInputStream(zf.getEntry("file.txt"));
  // ... read from 'in' as normal
} finally {
  zf.close();
}
