Upload files to Android Firebase Stroage

Hi guys,
How to upload a picture or other file to Firebase on Android and get the url of the file? Let’s start.

Add the dependency (app/build.gradle)

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage-ktx:19.1.1'

Let’s add a storage reference.

val storageRef = Firebase.storage.reference

Now we need to define the directory where we will upload our file;

val myFileRef = storageRef.child("photos/<FILE_NAME>")

Let’s determine what type our file is.

val metadata = storageMetadata {
    contentType = "image/jpeg"
}

Let’s upload our file to the directory we set in firebase stroage.

val uploadTask = myFileRef.putFile(fileUri,metadata)

We follow the installation process as follows: (If it worked for you, don’t forget to give a claps!)

uploadTask.addOnProgressListener { taskSnapshot ->
    val progress = (100.0 * taskSnapshot.bytesTransferred) / taskSnapshot.totalByteCount
    d { "Upload is $progress% done" }
}.addOnPausedListener {
    d { "Upload is paused" }
}.addOnFailureListener {
    d { "failure: ${it.printStackTrace()}" }
}.addOnSuccessListener {
    profilePhotosRef.downloadUrl.addOnSuccessListener {
        d { "downloadUrl: $it" }
    }
}

As you can see, we can see all the stages of loading.
And when the upload is successful, we get the download url of this file.

It’s that simple.
