Are you zipping or unzipping? (or both?)
Previously I’ve used ZipInputStream.
The tactic you use may depend on where the Zip is stored (on the SD Card / in the Assets of the APK / in an APK Extension).
If its an asset, for example, you can use AssetManager to open a file as an InputSteam.
If it’s on the SD card, you might want to use ZipFile.
There’s a Java tutorial here that may help:
