I am trying to zip a bunch of files from different locations into one zip folder using Zip4J. I have an ArrayList of files from different folders, and as I loop through the list calling "zip.AddFile(file, params)" the files are added fine until the folder that the files are coming from switches. And I get the following error,
net.lingala.zip4j.exception.ZipException: java.lang.NullPointerException

The code itself is
ZipFile zip;
try {
System.out.println("Creating zip: " + outputName);
File zipfile;
if ((zipfile = new File(outputName)).exists()) {
zipfile.delete();
}
zip = new ZipFile(new File(outputName));
ZipParameters params = new ZipParameters();
if (encrypt) {
params.setEncryptFiles(true);
params.setEncryptionMethod(Zip4jConstants.ENC_METHOD_AES);
params.setAesKeyStrength(Zip4jConstants.AES_STRENGTH_256);
params.setPassword(Property.AES_ENCRYPTION_KEY.getValue());
}
params.setCompressionMethod(Zip4jConstants.COMP_DEFLATE);
params.setCompressionLevel(Zip4jConstants.DEFLATE_LEVEL_NORMAL);
for (File file : sourceFiles) {
if (file.isFile()) {
try {
zip.addFile(file, params);
} catch (ZipException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
So for example, here is the list of files
files = {C:/Folder1/img1, C/Folder1/txtFile, C:/Folder1/jar, C:/Folder2/img2}
the code will execute fine until it hits the "C:/Folder2/img2" where it will return the above error. I have tried
params.setSourceExternalStream(true);
which provides a different error, saying that there is no name for the external source file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
