Last Updated : 06 Mar, 2019

The getName() function is a part of java.util.zip package. The function returns the Name of a specific ZipEntry passed as parameter .
Function Signature :

public int getName()

zip_entry.getName();

Parameters :No parameter is required for this function.
Return value :The function returns a String value, the Name of this ZipEntry.
Exceptions :The function does not throw any exception.

Below programs illustrates the use of getName() function

Example 1: We will create a file named zip_file and get the zip file entry using getEntry() function and then get the Name of the specified ZipEntry.”file.zip” is a zip file present in f: directory. we will take a “.zip” file as ZipEntry

// Java program to demonstrate the 
// use of getName() function 
  
import java.util.zip.*; 
import java.util.Enumeration; 
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
  
public class solution { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        try { 
            // Create a Zip File 
            ZipFile zip_file = new ZipFile("f:\\file1.zip"); 
  
            // get the Zip Entry using 
            // the getEntry() function 
            ZipEntry entry = zip_file.getEntry("file.zip"); 
  
            // Get the  Name 
            // using the getName() 
            // function 
            int input = entry.getName(); 
  
            // Display the  Name 
            System.out.println(" Name : " + input); 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println(e.getMessage()); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

 Name : file.zip

Example 2: We will create a file named zip_file and get the zip file entry using getEntry() function and then get the Name of the specified ZipEntry.”file.zip” is a zip file present in f: directory. we will take a “.cpp” file as ZipEntry

// Java program to demonstrate the 
// use of getName() function 
  
import java.util.zip.*; 
import java.util.Enumeration; 
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
  
public class solution { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        try { 
            // Create a Zip File 
            ZipFile zip_file = new ZipFile("f:\\file1.zip"); 
  
            // get the Zip Entry using 
            // the getEntry() function 
            ZipEntry entry = zip_file.getEntry("file1.cpp"); 
  
            // Get the  Name 
            // using the getName() 
            // function 
            String input = entry.getName(); 
  
            // Display the  Name 
            System.out.println(" Name : " + input); 
        } 
        catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println(e.getMessage()); 
        } 
    } 
}
