I think you can use substring method to get name of the file from the path string.

String path=":/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/1414240995236.jpg"; // it contains your image path...I'm using a temp string... String filename=path.substring(path.lastIndexOf("/")+1);

I think you should use File.separator instead of "/"

fatboy Over a year ago

@RvPanchal whats your problem? it should return file name "03.jpg"

HendraWD Over a year ago

@RvPanchal So what is the different with your solution from the link? Your solution will exactly give result "03.jpg" too.

HendraWD Over a year ago

If you mean that "2014/04/03.jpg" should be the name of the file. I don't think that we can put "/" as a character on the file name itself

Simple and easy way to get File name

File file = new File("/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/1414240995236.jpg"); String strFileName = file.getName();

After add this code and print strFileName you will get strFileName = 1414240995236.jpg

The easiest solution is to use Uri.getLastPathSegment():

String filename = uri.getLastPathSegment();

Manikandan Kasinathan Over a year ago

FilenameUtils to the rescue:

String filename = FilenameUtils.getName("/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/1414240995236.jpg");

One liner solution in kotlin assuming you have the absolute path

File(currentPhotoPath).name

Manish Pratap Singh · Accepted Answer · 2018-02-20 06:56:40Z

We can find file name below code:

File file =new File(Path); String filename=file.getName();

Choletski · Accepted Answer · 2019-05-17 13:25:47Z

Final working solution:

 public static String getFileName(Uri uri) { try { String path = uri.getLastPathSegment(); return path != null ? path.substring(path.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) : "unknown"; } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return "unknown"; }

Old thread but thought I would update;

 File theFile = ....... String theName = theFile.getName(); // Get the file name String thePath = theFile.getAbsolutePath(); // Get the full

More info can be found here; Android File Class

Abdqr92 · Accepted Answer · 2015-09-29 03:52:05Z

you can use the Common IO library which can get you the Base name of your file and the Extension.

 String fileUrl=":/storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/1414240995236.jpg"; String fileName=FilenameUtils.getBaseName(fileUrl); String fileExtention=FilenameUtils.getExtension(fileUrl); //this will return filename:1414240995236 and fileExtention:jpg

Unfortunately, during runtime many people are getting this: "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lorg/apache/commons/io/FilenameUtils;"

Mehdi jafari · Accepted Answer · 2019-01-19 05:00:14Z

Other Way is:

String[] parts = selectedFilePath.split("/"); final String fileName = parts[parts.length-1];

Tarif Chakder · Accepted Answer · 2020-11-18 08:53:54Z

add this library

 implementation group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.6'

then call FilenameUtils class

 val getFileName = FilenameUtils.getName("Your File path")

Using such a "fat" library for such simple task is not the best idea

In kotlin:

fileUrl.split("/").last()

Kotlin provides a simple solution already path.substringAfterLast("/")
