taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl() is deprecated

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 should use?

Solution 1:

As Doug says, you will need to run it inside a Task

Here is a hint of how you need to implement it

final StorageReference ref = storageRef.child("your_REF");
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();
                String downloadURL = downloadUri.toString();
            } else {
                // Handle failures
                // ...
            }
        }
    });

For more information about how to implement it, you can check this github question that was opened 7 days after I answered this https://github.com/udacity/and-nd-firebase/issues/41

Solution 2:

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);
                    }
                });
            }
        });

This code work for me.

                imgPhoto.buildDrawingCache();
                Bitmap bitmap = imgPhoto.getDrawingCache();

                UploadTask uploadTask = imageRef.putBytes(imageBytes);

                uploadTask.addOnFailureListener(MainActivity.this, new OnFailureListener() {

                        //Uri url = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();
                        Task<Uri> uri = taskSnapshot.getStorage().getDownloadUrl();
                        while(!uri.isComplete());
                        Uri url = uri.getResult();

                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Upload Success, download URL " +
                                url.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        Log.i("FBApp1 URL ", url.toString());
                    }
                });
