Heyy! Before you go and report this as a duplicate: I researched for hours and hours and yes there are a LOT of sites, questions and videos about that, but none of those can help me.
I used diffrent techniques already to create a zip archive, which works great. I also get all files from subdirectories without a problem. But the thing is that i only get all the files listed, without their directories. If i have
/something/somethingelse/text1.txt and /something/somethingother/lol.txt
I want it to be shown in the zip folder exactly like that.
In the zip folder there should be the 2 folders somethingelse and somethingother, containing their file(s). With all the versions i found, it puts all files and all files from other subfolders directly into the zip, so when i cliuck on the .zip
it just shows text1.txt
and lol.txt
, without any folders.
Is there a way that processes a .zip
as all the well-known programs for zipping files?
I just want to zip the directory and have everything as it was before, just packed into a zip archive.
I tried out everything i can with my level of java and also tried some online version, nothing leads to the result i want.
Here you go:
private static void zipFolder(Path sourceFolderPath, Path zipPath) throws Exception {
ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipPath.toFile()));
Files.walkFileTree(sourceFolderPath, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(sourceFolderPath.relativize(file).toString()));
Files.copy(file, zos);
zos.closeEntry();
return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
}
});
zos.close();
}
