taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl() is deprecated

Question

Until now, the way to get the url from file on Storage in Firebase, I used to do this taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl, but nowadays is deprecated, which method I

Answer 1

Use taskSnapshot.getTask() instead of taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl() works fine for me.

Answer 2

//Create an instance of StorageReference first (here in this code snippet, it is storageRef)  

StorageReference filepath = storageRef.child("images.jpg");

 //If file exist in storage this works.
 filepath.getDownloadUrl().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Uri>() {
                            @Override
                            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Uri> task) {
                                String downloadUrl = task.getResult().toString();
                                // downloadurl will be the resulted answer
                             }
 });

Answer 3

You can use StorageReference.getDownloadUrl(). Please note that it returns a Task, so you will have to remember to treat it asynchronously like you do any other Task.

Answer 4

Use this implementation for your uploadTask and will work. :)

uploadTask.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                Task<Uri> firebaseUri = taskSnapshot.getStorage().getDownloadUrl();
                firebaseUri.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {

                        String url = uri.toString();
                        Log.e("TAG:", "the url is: " + url);

                        String ref = yourStorageReference.getName();
                        Log.e("TAG:", "the ref is: " + ref);
                    }
                });
            }
        });

Answer 5

Task<Uri> task = taskSnapshot.getMetadata().getReference().getDownloadUrl();
task.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>() {
       @Override
        public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {
              String photoLink = uri.toString();
        }
});

Answer 6

You wont get the download url of image now using

ImageUrl = 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<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 ur_firebase_reference.getDownloadUrl();
    }
}).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Uri>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Uri> 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
            // ...
        }
    }
});

You can track the progress of uploading by adding Progress listeners,

uploadTask.addOnProgressListener(new OnProgressListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
        @Override
        public void onProgress(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            double progress = (100.0 * taskSnapshot.getBytesTransferred()) / taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount();
            System.out.println("Upload is " + progress + "% done");
            Toast.makeText(mContext, "Upload is " + progress + "% done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }).addOnPausedListener(new OnPausedListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
        @Override
        public void onPaused(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            System.out.println("Upload is paused");
        }
    }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
            // Handle unsuccessful uploads
        }
    }).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            // Handle successful uploads on complete
            // ...
        }
    });
