How to download data from firebase by Storage?

Question

I used the documentation provided by Firebase and still did not understand how to download a file that is in Storage by my app.

Answer 1

Use a library that comes with Firebse Torage. In your build.Radle add the line below in dependencies so you can use this firebase feature:

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:0.6.0'

Then reference the file you want to transfer and download it using the Glide library. Will be downloaded and cached.

The example below download a photo and click on an Imageview:

Glide.with(MainActivity.this)
        .using(new FirebaseImageLoader())
        .load(imagemRef)
        .into(imageView)
