Hi I am working on an android file explorer application. When a large folder is
requested for download I am zipping the folder and writing its contents to the
outputstream using the code below.But any further requests are blocked until
the file is downloaded.The createZipFile() method takes file name and
ouputstream and returns OutPutStreamWriter object.What could be the problem
?Should I consider moving this to a thread?I have tried many variations already
and none seem to work.Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.
if(f.isDirectory()&& action.equalsIgnoreCase("download")){ File
zip=new File(file); entity = new EntityTemplate(new ContentProducer() {
public void writeTo(final OutputStream outstream) throws IOException
{ action=null; OutputStreamWriter
writer=fileop.createZipFile(file, outstream); writer.flush();
} });response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/zip");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""
+zip.getName()+".zip\""); response.setEntity(entity); }Thanks Kalz
