How to get that path from url ?

[Miran Cvenkel]

the answer to this is casting urlConnection as HttpURLConnection

something like this:

      HttpURLConnection http_url = (HttpURLConnection) urlConnection;
      http_url.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
      InputStream urlStream1 = http_url.getInputStream();
      http_url.getURL()//there is the answer
      urlStream.close();
