Android- split URL string

Question

I have a url I would like to split, so I essentially only have "Dub-Boro - Get Down.mp3"

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/**/Week%20of%20July%2025/Dub-Boro%20-%20Get%20Down.mp3

I was thinking of doing a split, but don't know how to approach it. Any ideas? Thanks

String[] path = uri.getPath().spit("/");
String mp3 = path[ path.length - 1 ];

So the way I have it set up is that my url is changed to a string already. So I just need to split the string?

You can just split the string sure, but I'd keep this thing as URL. There is utility in having it wrapped in an object.

what about doing a string.replace()?
