title: How does one unpack a tar file in Android?
body: <p>I'm not overly familiar with tar, so, this may be a stupid question, but I have a situation where I want to grab a tarball from the server (preferably compressed, but that's not essential), download it on to the device and untar it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not seeing any standard library to do this... am I overlooking it, or does it not exist?</p>
  
  <p>[EDIT] I'm attempting to do this in my app by means of some API or library that handles unpacking tars - I'm not looking for an app that un-tars stuff on my device.</p>
