How to fix Firebase storage error?

so I am trying to use the Firebase storage, and when I copied and pasted these lines of code in dependencies:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.2.0'

I get a build error that states:

Error:(33, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.2.0 Show in File
Show in Project Structure dialog

AND

Error:Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.2.0 Open File
Show in Project Structure dialog

and

Error:(34, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.2.0 Show in File
Show in Project Structure dialog

Here is what my dependencies look like.

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:24.0.0-beta1'
    compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:0.3.1'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.2.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Also, what is the difference between Firebase database and firebase storage? when would you use one over the other, dont they both store information for you?

Have you followed our getting started instructions? It's possible that you're missing the plugin that helps resolve these deps.

You're also going to want to remove the lines:

compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:0.3.1'

and replace them with the upgraded versions:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.2.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:0.4.2'

As for the difference between Firebase Database and Firebase Storage, the Firebase documentation says this:

  • The Firebase Realtime Database stores JSON application data, like game state or chat messages, and synchronizes changes instantly across all connected devices.

  • Firebase Remote Config stores developer-specified key-value pairs to change the behavior and appearance of your app without requiring users to download an update.

  • Firebase Hosting hosts the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for your website as well as other developer-provided assets like graphics, fonts, and icons.

  • Firebase Storage stores files such as images, videos, and audio as well as other user-generated content.
