Question

I use Firebase Storage to upfile. But it does not work THIS IS MY CODE.

FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
StorageReference sto         


        

Answer 1

Using putStream() is the the recommended way for most files instead of putFile() (for local files on the device) like so:

InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(new File(pathToYourFile)));

UploadTask uploadTask = imageFileStorageReference.putStream(stream);

Answer 2

You can't use putFile() with an HTTP type Uri. According to the documentation, you're supposed to use it to upload a local file.

If you want to upload a file to Storage that exists somewhere else referenced by an HTTP URL, you'll have to download that file first, store it locally, then upload it.

Answer 3

This Sorted me out, All I needed to do was to update the firebase-storage lib. In my case it was 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:16.4.0' and after updating it to 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:17.0.0' everything start working fine again.

Answer 4

May be this is the wrong path bug but in my case resolve this here is the example

i use this code then i received error

public static StorageReference getChildProfileStorage(String vid){
    StorageReference storageReference= FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();
    storageReference.child("ParentDataStore").child(CurrentUser.getInstance().getEmail())
            .child("ChildDataStore").child(vid);

    return storageReference;
}

here is the line that solve my problem

public static StorageReference getStudentProfileStorage(String vid){
    StorageReference storageReference= FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference("ParentDataStore")
            .child("StudentDataStore").child(vid).child("profile");
    return storageReference;
}

Answer 5

For me it working properly if the upload file is no symbols such +, @, #, $ make sure the file name is only number, letters, period, and underscore.

Answer 6

The key to solving this problem is to enable Storage in the app's permissions. You should follow these steps:

Settings -> Apps -> AppName -> Permissions -> Enable Storage

Remember that the file should exist on the device.
