sent picture does't show up in chat about codelab-friendlychat-android HOT 7 CLOSED

@bighwstyle image not showing could be related to the .getDownloadUrl() that has been deprecated. Hence, the friendlyMessage.imageUrl stores the wrong URL.

I solved it by using the following code to replace the putImageInStorage function:

private void putImageInStorage(final StorageReference storageReference, Uri uri, final String key) {

        UploadTask uploadTask = storageReference.putFile(uri);

        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();
                }

                return storageReference.getDownloadUrl();
            }
        }).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Uri>() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Uri> task) {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {

                    String downloadUrl = task.getResult().toString();

                    FriendlyMessage friendlyMessage = new FriendlyMessage(null, mUsername, mPhotoUrl,downloadUrl);

                    mFirebaseDatabaseReference.child(MESSAGES_CHILD).child(key).setValue(friendlyMessage);

                } else {
                    Log.w(TAG, "Image upload task was not successful.",
                            task.getException());
                }
            }
        });

Hi, you probably forgot to enable your storage in the firebase console. If you click on storage in the left menu and click on the get started button you should see this screen then everything will load fine.

Ok great, I think we can close this but @leonidas79 if you have any troubles on the real device just ping this thread and we can re-open it.

Is it closed? Image uploading is working. I can see it in the firebase console. But I can't see the pic after showing placeholder image.

hello,
If you have this problem, maybe is due to the rule:
rules_version = '2'; service firebase.storage { match /b/{bucket}/o { match /{allPaths=**} { allow read, write: if request.auth != null; } } }
