I am trying to read zip from zip file programitically.

 val f = File("src/main/files/zipfile.zip")
 val zis = ZipInputStream(FileInputStream(f))

but i got error.

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: src/main/files/zipfile.zip (No such file or directory)

Why it doesn't see this file if it is on this path?

CodePudding user response：

It's not on this path in your compiled app. That's not a valid asset directory, and the files there will not be in your compiled app.

If you want to include a raw file in your app, put it in src/main/assets. And to read it, you need to get it via context.assets

For example, in a Fragment:

val zipFileStream = requireContext().assets.open("zipfile.zip")
val zis = ZipInputStream(zipFileStream)

although you most likely should be reading files in a ViewModel so the contents can persist through a screen rotation.
