Answer 1

You wont get the download url of image now using

profileImageUrl = 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
                // ...
            }
        }
    });
