Java ZipEntry setCompressedSize() function with examples

The setCompressedSize() function is a part of java.util.zip package. The function sets the compressed size of the Zip Entry to specified long value.
Function Signature :

public void setCompressedSize(long val)

Syntax :

zip_entry.setCompressedSize(val);

Parameters :The function takes a long value as parameter.
Return value :The function does not return any value.
Exceptions :The function does not throw any exception.

Below programs illustrates the use of setCompressedSize() function

Example 1: We will create a file named zip_file and get the zip file entry using getEntry() function and then set the Compressed Size of the specified ZipEntry.”file.zip” is a zip file present in f: directory. we will take a “.zip” file as ZipEntry

// Java program to demonstrate the
// use of setCompressedSize() function

import java.util.zip.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try {
            // Create a Zip File
            ZipFile zip_file = new ZipFile("f:\\file1.zip");

            // get the Zip Entry using
            // the getEntry() function
            ZipEntry entry = zip_file.getEntry("file.zip");

            // set the CompressedSize
            // using the getCompressedSize()
            // function
            entry.setCompressedSize(123);

            // Get the CompressedSize
            // using the getCompressedSize()
            // function
            long input = entry.getCompressedSize();

            // Display the CompressedSize
            System.out.println("CompressedSize : " + input);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

CompressedSize : 123

Example 2: We will create a file named zip_file and get the zip file entry using getEntry() function and then set the CompressedSize of the specified ZipEntry.”file.zip” is a zip file present in f: directory. we will take a “.cpp” file as ZipEntry

// Java program to demonstrate the
// use of setCompressedSize() function

import java.util.zip.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try {
            // Create a Zip File
            ZipFile zip_file = new ZipFile("f:\\file1.zip");

            // get the Zip Entry using
            // the getEntry() function
            ZipEntry entry = zip_file.getEntry("file1.cpp");

            // set the CompressedSize
            // using the getCompressedSize()
            // function
            entry.setCompressedSize(123);

            // Get the CompressedSize
            // using the getCompressedSize()
            // function
            long input = entry.getCompressedSize();

            // Display the CompressedSize
            System.out.println("CompressedSize : " + input);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

CompressedSize : 123
