Flutter Load Image from Firebase Storage

Question

I see there are a lot of examples on how to upload an image using flutter to firebase storage but nothing on actually downloading/reading/displaying one that\'s already bee

Answer 1

update

In newer versions use

await ref.getDownloadURL();

See How to get full downloadUrl from UploadTaskSnapshot in Flutter?

original

someMethod() async {
  var data = await FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child("foo$rand.txt").getData();
  var text = new String.fromCharCodes(data);
  print(data);
}

see Download an image from Firebase to Flutter

or

final uploadTask = imageStore.putFile(imageFile);
final url = (await uploadTask.future).downloadUrl;

In the later case you'd need to store the downloadUrl somewhere and then use NetworkImage or similar to get it rendered.
