// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    // This requires the Chilkat Zip API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Unlock Chilkat Zip for sample code.

    // First prepare a .zip and write it..
    CkZip zip = new CkZip();

    zip.NewZip("qa_output/abc.zip");

    // Write to qa_output/abc.zip
    // This .zip contains three files: a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt
    success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Open abc.zip, replace the content of the "b.txt" entry with something else, and re-write.
    CkZip zip2 = new CkZip();
