One of the main advantages of android (in comparison to apple ios) is the presence of a sd card on most devices.

My application uses more than 1000 (12 GB) files, which are stored in several subfolders in a directory of the sdcard.

i urgently need a reliable unzip function, because i want to be able to frequently update subfolders via internet download.

There is a third party zip/unzip library, but unfortunately it has several bugs and the support for this library seems to be abandoned by the author.

One drawback of this library: it blocks the device during the unzip operation for a long time.

Currently i have no other choice than downloading a whole bunch of single uncompressed files.

That's why i would highly appreciate a reliable built-in zip/unzip function in b4a.
