How to get FolderName and FileName from the DirectoryPath

I have DirectoryPath:
data/data/in.com.jotSmart/app_custom/folderName/FileName
which is stored as a String in ArrayList

Like

ArrayList<String> a;
a.add("data/data/in.com.jotSmart/app_custom/page01/Note01.png");

Now from this path I want to get page01 as a separate string and Note01 as a separate string and stored it into two string variables. I tried a lot, but I am not able to get the result. If anyone knows help me to solve this out.

f.getParent()

Returns the pathname string of this abstract pathname's parent, or null if this pathname does not name a parent directory.

For example 

    File f = new File("/home/jigar/Desktop/1.txt");

    System.out.println(f.getParent());// /home/jigar/Desktop
    System.out.println(f.getName());  //1.txt

Update: (based on update in question)

if data/data/in.com.jotSmart/app_custom/page01/Note01.png is valid representation of file in your file system then

for(String fileNameStr: filesList){
  File file = new File(fileNameStr);
  String dir = file.getParent().substring(file.getParent().lastIndexOf(File.separator) + 1);//page01
  String fileName = f.getName();
  if(fileName.indexOf(".")!=-1){
     fileName = fileName.substring(0,fileName.lastIndexOf("."));
   }
}

create a file with this path... then use these two methods to get directory name and file name.

file.getParent(); // dir name from starting till end like data/data....../page01
file.getName(); // file name like note01.png

if you need directory name as page01, you can get a substring of path u got from getparent.
