Download individual files from inside ZIP files stored on web servers.
Based on an idea by Edward Patel, the Objective-C implementation is here: [http://github.com/epatel/pinch-objc].
Pinch works in several steps:
1. Create the Pinch object using the URL to the ZIP you want to pinch.
2. Retrieve the central directory (i.e. the list of all files inside the ZIP archive).
3. From this list, select which files you want to download.
public void downloadZipContents(String zipUrl, String targetDir) throws MalformedURLException {
URL url = new URL(zipUrl);
Pinch pincher = new Pinch(url);
// get contents of ZIP archive.
List<ExtendedZipEntry> list = pincher.parseCentralDirectory();
// download each file separatly (typical external Android external storage path).
for (ExtendedZipEntry entry : list) {
try {
pincher.downloadFile(entry, targetDir);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
break;
}
}
