Android :: How To Parse URL String With Spaces To URI Object

I have a string representing an URL containing spaces and want to convert it to an URI object.

If is simple try to do String myString = "http://myhost.com/media/mp3s/9/Agenda of swine - 13. Persecution Ascension_ leave nothing standing.mp3"; URI myUri = new URI(myString);

It gives me: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index X

Where index X is the position of the first space in the URL string. How can i parse myStringinto a URI object?
