Answer 1

You wont get the download url of image now using

ImageUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl().toString(); this method is deprecated.

Instead you can use the below method

uniqueId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
ur_firebase_reference = storageReference.child("user_photos/" + uniqueId);

Uri file = Uri.fromFile(new File(mphotofile.getAbsolutePath()));
UploadTask uploadTask = ur_firebase_reference.putFile(file);

Task urlTask = uploadTask.continueWithTask(new Continuation>() {
    @Override
    public Task then(@NonNull Task task) throws Exception {
        if (!task.isSuccessful()) {
            throw task.getException();
        }

        // Continue with the task to get the download URL
        return ur_firebase_reference.getDownloadUrl();
    }
}).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            Uri downloadUri = task.getResult();
            System.out.println("Upload " + downloadUri);
            Toast.makeText(mActivity, "Successfully uploaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            if (downloadUri != null) {

                String photoStringLink = downloadUri.toString(); //YOU WILL GET THE DOWNLOAD URL HERE !!!!
                System.out.println("Upload " + photoStringLink);

            }

        } else {
            // Handle failures
            // ...
        }
    }
});

You can track the progress of uploading by adding Progress listeners,

uploadTask.addOnProgressListener(new OnProgressListener() {
        @Override
        public void onProgress(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            double progress = (100.0 * taskSnapshot.getBytesTransferred()) / taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount();
            System.out.println("Upload is " + progress + "% done");
            Toast.makeText(mContext, "Upload is " + progress + "% done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }).addOnPausedListener(new OnPausedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPaused(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            System.out.println("Upload is paused");
        }
    }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
            // Handle unsuccessful uploads
        }
    }).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            // Handle successful uploads on complete
            // ...
        }
    });
