ZIP Viewer - Open ZIP Archives on Android & Online

Users of an Android app can look inside a ZIP archive without unpacking it. GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders what the archive holds, so one request yields HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG pages that the app then displays.

ZIP has been the default way to bundle files since PKWARE published the format in 1989. Email attachments, report bundles, exported records and photo sets are commonly sent as ZIP, which makes it one of the most common files an Android app receives from its users.

Integration uses the Java SDK for Android, which a Gradle or Maven dependency brings in, backed by code samples. Thumbnails, zoom and navigation across pages are supported, individual pages can be requested, and protected archives open when the password is provided. Coverage extends past 180 formats, so documents of almost any type are viewable through one client.

If looking inside a single archive is all you want, the free GroupDocs.Viewer app on the web handles ZIP files. Developers can start on a free trial and send live requests from the API Explorer before writing integration code.
