Real name of the image when I select from the gallery

Question

When select image from gallery, the uri is: /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/image:49769

and i need: /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/image.jpg

How do I get the actual name of the image?

I have this now:

if(requestCode==REQ_CODE_PICTURE && resultCode==RESULT_OK && data != null &&    data.getData() != null) {

fileUri = data.getData();
imageView.setImageURI(fileUri);

Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE);

File f = new   File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).getAbsolutePath() + "/" + fileUri.getPathSegments().get(fileUri.getPathSegments().size()-1));

Uri contentUri = Uri.parse(f.getAbsolutePath());
//uriToUpload = contentUri.toString();
uriToUpload = getRealPathFromURI(contentUri);
Log.i("AAAAAAA", uriToUpload);



public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index =   cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}

And this is the error in cursor.moveToFirst():

Get the real path from your uri

public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri uri) {
String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int column_index = cursor
        .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
cursor.moveToFirst();
return cursor.getString(column_index);
}
