Unable to compress file types other than txt

[asthagarg2428]

I tried compression with 1 docx and other mp4 files and on extracting the same compressed files, the obtained files can't be viewed.

Steps:-

1. I changed the create method of CompressArchiveStructure.java to return me the Items containing files from assets folder of type docx and mp4.

   public static Item[] create(Context context) {
   
       Item[] items = new Item[2];
       try {
           String file1 = Helper.getDocFileFromAsset(context).getPath();
           items[0] = new Item(file1, Helper.getStringFromFile(file1));
           String file2 = Helper.getMP4FileFromAsset(context).getPath();
           items[1] = new Item(file2, Helper.getStringFromFile(file2));
   
       } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
       return items;
   }

2. Calling compress with ZIP format from MainActivity

   CompressGeneric().compress(
           "${Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()}/Download/demo/compressed_zip.zip",
           "ZIP", 2, this
       )

3. Run the App, You will see thet the compressed_zip.zip is generated at the right path and extract the zip files using phone's default App

Observed behaviour:-

1. The files obtained ater extraction can't be viewed
2. The extracted files are under the directory structure _compressedzip>data>user>0>com.example.MyProject>files. (which is the path of the file I picked from Asset folder) Ideally it should be directly under compressed_zip folder.

Please help me resolving in this issue and let me know if you need any more details from my side

I can also recommend referring to the documentation for Java library 7-Zip-JBinding.

This includes the the documentation available here:
