Yes, you can decompress gzip to string with this method.

public static String decompress(byte[] byteArray) throws Exception {
    if (byteArray == null ) {
        return null;
    }
    
    GZIPInputStream gzis = new GZIPInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray));
    BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(gzis, "UTF-8"));
    String outputString = "";
    String line;
    while ((line=bfr.readLine())!=null) {
      outputString += line;
    }
    return outputString;
 }
