Question

Until now, the way to get the url from file on Storage in Firebase, I used to do this taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl, but nowadays is deprecated, which method I

Answer 1

Just use a Task instead of ref.putFile(uriImage) .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener() Nowadays, firebase references suggest using Uploadtask objects

I've done it like this:

UploadTask uploadTask;
        uploadTask = storageReferenceProfilePic.putFile(uriProfileImage );

        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 storageReferenceProfilePic.getDownloadUrl();
            }
        }).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task task) {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                    progressBarImageUploading.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    Uri downloadUri = task.getResult();
                    profileImageUrl = downloadUri.toString();
                    ins.setText(profileImageUrl);
                } else {
                    // Handle failures
                    // ...
                }
            }
        });

Notice these lines in the above code:

Uri downloadUri = task.getResult();
profileImageUrl = downloadUri.toString();

Now profileImageUrl contains something like "http://adressofimage" which is the url to acess the image

Now you're free to use the String profileImageUrl however you wish. For e.g., load the url into an ImageView using Glide or Fresco libraries.
