{{box-news|ZIM on Android / LZMA2 for Java|2010-09-17|Linterweb, the maker of the Okawix offline reader, has recently switched to ZIM and is currently working on an Android version of their software.
{{box-news|ZIM and LZMA2 for Java|2011-06-09| Arunesh Mathur is developing a ZIMReader in Java for developers who are interested in making Android and J2ME based offline readers. Find the code here:
 
* http://svn.openzim.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/zimreader-java/  
There is one problem: ZIM uses XZ / LZMA2 for compression while there is no such library available for Java. There are Java libs for the older LZMA and an SDK for XZ / LZMA2, but this currently only supports C/C++.


Asaf Bartov from Wikimedia Israel, also a user of the ZIM technology, now started to port LZMA2 from C to Java:
Lasse Collin has ported LZMA2 to Java. You can download the source and the docs over here:
* http://github.com/abartov/LZMA2-java
* http://tukaani.org/xz/java.html


Feel free to contribute. Both the LZMA2 SDK and Asaf's Java port are open source software.}}
Feel free to contribute. Lasse's code is open source software.}}
