Transition from Zip.AppendNewDir to Zip.AddEmpty

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendNewDir method calls with AddEmpty. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

    //  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
