Question

Before gradle update everything worked fine, but later on this error popped up. I have referred to the official documents and it provides the same code. Not accepting the ge

Answer 1

UploadTask.getDownloadUrl() is deprecated. Use StorageReference.getDownloadUrl() instead.

Answer 2

For kotlin

val uploadTask = fileReference.putFile(Uri.fromFile(primaryFile), metadata)

and

        uploadTask
                .addOnProgressListener { taskSnapshot ->

                }

                .addOnPausedListener { 

                }

                .addOnSuccessListener { taskSnapshot ->
                }
                .continueWithTask { task ->
                    if (!task.isSuccessful) {
                        throw task.exception!!
                    }
                 fileReference.downloadUrl
                }

                .addOnCompleteListener { task ->

                    if (task.isSuccessful) {
                        val downloadUrl: Uri = task.result

                    } else {
                        // Handle failures
                    }
                }

                .addOnFailureListener { e ->

                }

val downloadUrl is your URL that is uploaded.

Answer 3

As Doug pointed out, UploadTask.getDownloadUrl() is deprecated, so use StorageReference.getDownloadUrl().

But StorageReference.getDownloadUrl() returns Task, which must be handled asynchronously, you cannot do Uri downloadUrl = photoRef.getDownloadUrl().getResult(); else you will get java.lang.IllegalStateException: Task is not yet complete

Therefore, handle it asynchronously like this

 photoRef.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {
                        Uri downloadUrl = uri;
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Upload success! URL - " + downloadUrl.toString() , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                });

Answer 4

If you have a 'image_uri' and put it to the firebase storage this code will help you.

private StorageReference storageReference= FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();

 final StorageReference ref = storageReference.child("picture.jpg");
    ref.putFile(image_uri).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            ref.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>() {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {
                    final Uri downloadUrl = uri;


                }
            });

Try this code..

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

String LOG_TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

Button buttonUpload, buttonDownload;
RadioGroup radioGroup;
ImageView imageviewResult;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    buttonUpload = findViewById(R.id.upload_button);
    buttonDownload = findViewById(R.id.download_button);
    radioGroup = findViewById(R.id.radio_group);
    imageviewResult = findViewById(R.id.resultant_imageview);

    buttonUpload.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            uploadImage();
        }
    });

    buttonDownload.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            downloadImage();
        }
    });
}

private void uploadImage() {
    // Start by getting our StorageReference
    FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
    StorageReference rootRef = storage.getReference();
    StorageReference bearRef = rootRef.child("images/bear.jpg");
    final ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
    progressDialog.setTitle("Uploading");
    progressDialog.show();

    // Get the data from the image as bytes
    ImageView bearImage = getSelectedBearImage();
    bearImage.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    bearImage.buildDrawingCache();
    Bitmap bitmap = bearImage.getDrawingCache();
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
    byte[] data = baos.toByteArray();

    // Upload it to our reference
    UploadTask uploadTask = bearRef.putBytes(data);
    buttonDownload.setEnabled(false);
    uploadTask.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
            // Handle unsuccessful uploads
            progressDialog.dismiss();

            Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Upload failed: " + exception.getMessage());
        }

        @Override
        public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            // taskSnapshot.getMetadata() contains file metadata such as size, content-type, and download URL.
            Uri downloadUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();
            progressDialog.dismiss();

            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Download Url: " + downloadUrl);
            buttonDownload.setEnabled(true);
        }
    });
}

private void downloadImage() {
    // Start by getting a reference to the same location we uploaded to
    FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
    StorageReference rootRef = storage.getReference();

    // Download our data with a max allocation of 1MB
    final long ONE_MEGABYTE = 1024 * 1024;
    bearRef.getBytes(ONE_MEGABYTE).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<byte[]>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(byte[] bytes) {
            // Convert bytes to bitmap and call setImageBitmap
            progressDialog.dismiss();
            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Download successful");
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
            imageviewResult.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
        }
    }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
        @Override

            progressDialog.dismiss();

            Log.w(LOG_TAG, "Download failed: " + exception.getMessage());
        }
    });
}

private ImageView getSelectedBearImage() {
    switch (radioGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId()) {
        case R.id.radio1:

and i hope you connetcted with firebase storage and give internet permission..

Answer 6

getDownloadUrl no longer exists.

So the new method is:

final StorageReference ref = storageRef.child("images/mountains.jpg");
uploadTask = ref.putFile(file);

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

        // Continue with the task to get the download URL
        return ref.getDownloadUrl();
    }
}).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Uri>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Uri> task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            Uri downloadUri = task.getResult();
        } else {
            // Handle failures
            // ...
        }
    }
});
