TAR Viewer for Android - Open TAR Archives Online

The TAR format comes from the Unix tape archive utility and remains the standard way to bundle files on Linux systems. A Consolidated Unix File Archive holds many files and folders in one uncompressed container, keeping their paths and permissions intact. Android provides no built-in tool for opening such a container, so a server backup that reaches your phone stays unreadable.

Cloud rendering removes that limitation. One REST request sends the archive to GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud, which answers with the container listing as HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG. Zoom, thumbnails and navigation between pages come from the same service, which helps when an archive holds hundreds of entries.

Java code on a handset reaches the endpoint through the Android SDK, whose samples show a complete request in a few lines. Installation comes from Maven or Gradle, every method is available for testing in the interactive API Explorer, and early experiments run on a free trial.

No code is needed for a single look, because the free GroupDocs.Viewer app online opens TAR files in any browser. Since 180-plus formats run through one account, the documents inside your archives are covered too.
