The code below shows how to decompress and extract files from a zip archive. In the example we use the java.util.zip.ZipInputStream class.

package org.kodejava.util.zip;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;

public class UnzipDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String zipName = "data.zip";

        try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(zipName);
             ZipInputStream zis =
                 new ZipInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(fis))) {

            ZipEntry entry;

            // Read each entry from the ZipInputStream until no
            // more entry found indicated by a null return value
            // of the getNextEntry() method.
            while ((entry = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
                System.out.println("Unzipping: " + entry.getName());

                int size;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];

                try (FileOutputStream fos =
                         new FileOutputStream(entry.getName());
                     BufferedOutputStream bos =
                         new BufferedOutputStream(fos, buffer.length)) {

                    while ((size = zis.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
                        bos.write(buffer, 0, size);
                    }
                    bos.flush();
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
