Android DownloadManager save file with original name

Question

I'm just working on the Android DownloadManager and I would like to save the file with the original file name, provided by the server. My current code:

    req.setAllowedNetworkTypes(DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_WIFI
                               | DownloadManager.Request.NETWORK_MOBILE)
   .setAllowedOverRoaming(false)
   .setTitle("Downloading..")
   .setDescription("Downloading ROM")
   .setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,
                                      "NameOfFileOnCard");

Now, the file name in the download folder is configured, I marked it as NameOfFileOnCard. What do I have to change?

Please help!

where do you have the original filename in the header, response? — Raghunandan, Mar 22 '13 at 15:00
I have a link which does a redirect to the current download link. — yanniks, Mar 22 '13 at 15:05
This redirect link is defined here: private void startDownload(View v) { Uri uri=Uri.parse("http://yanniks.de/roms/cm-10.1-ace.md5"); — yanniks, Mar 22 '13 at 15:06

Before I use code like this, you may try this:

 nameOfFile = URLUtil.guessFileName(fileURL, null, MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(fileURL));

do not forget import:

 import android.webkit.MimeTypeMap;
 import android.webkit.URLUtil;
