android get URL path

I've got a string: 

public://imageifarm/3600.jpg

How can I extract the 

imageifarm/3600.jpg

Part out using android?

What I've tried so far:

URL drupalQuestionNodeImageURI = new URL("public://imageifarm/3600.jpg");
Log.d("TAG", drupalQuestionNodeImageURI.getPath());

but it throws this exception:

09-16 17:24:39.992: W/System.err(3763): java.net.MalformedURLException: Unknown protocol: public

How can I solve this?

I know I can use regular expressions but that seems to defeat the purpose of URL(URI) in this case.

If you want have to use URL class (when you image sits on Internet) you have to provide valid URL (that begins from valid URL prefix, like http://, https:// etc). In you case you should use Uri class. Uri object can point on files in your local file system. For example:

Uri.fromFile(new File("public://imageifarm/3600.jpg"));

You should use android.net.Uri 

Uri mUri = Uri.parse(public://imageifarm/3600.jpg);    
String extract = mUri.getEncodedSchemeSpecificPart();

Use java.net.URI, not java.net.URL.
