Question

Supposedly, using my application I take a few images which will be saved at a particular directory and saved as JPEGs.

IS it possible to pack these images together? Like into a video or tar or zip? So that I can send send these images to a backend (E.g. web server).

Is this possible? Or I could only send them 1 by 1?

Thanks In Advance,
Perumal

For making video files from images you have to use any video codec library like FFMPEG or anything else..

But for creating .zip archive..

Android has a in-built class ZipOutputStream support of java.util.zip package.

This class provides an implementation of FilterOutputStream that compresses data entries into a ZIP-archive output stream.

ZipOutputStream is used to write ZipEntries to the underlying stream. Output from ZipOutputStream conforms to the ZipFile file format.
