public class ZippingFileExample {

            Class clazz = ZippingFileExample.class;

            // Put a new ZipEntry in the ZipOutputStream
            zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(source));

            int size;

            // Read data to the end of the source file and write it
            // to the zip output stream.
            while ((size = is.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) > 0) {
                zos.write(buffer, 0, size);
            }

            zos.closeEntry();
            is.close();

            // Finish zip process
            zos.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
