Hello all,

 

We worked on porting Okawix ( http://okawix.com ) to the Android platform. So far we included Zeno files support with both gzip and bz2 compression formats.

Now, we wants to add Zim files support but we're stuck due to the compression format: Zim files are generated using the LZMA2 format which is not easily available on the Android / Java platform. On the other hand, the OpenZim website lists gzip and bz2 as possible compression format for Zim files. Would it be possible to generate a Zim file with of those compression formats? Or is the documentation on the website out of date?

We only have two weeks left to port Okawix to the Android platform and if we can't get Zim support working in this delay, we would have to release Okawix with Zeno files support only.

Thank you for your help to developp an opensource offline reader including ZIM for Java Android.

Sincerely
Pascal Martin
