Unable to set Firebase Image Uri in Image View

I am retrieving an image from my firebase database and setting it in an Image View. I am using the following code.

mStorageRef.child("Book_Photos/"+firstBook.bid).getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(Uri uri) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "GET IMAGE SUCCESSFUL",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                if(uri==null){
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "URI IS NULL",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
                try {
                    ImageView image2;
                    image2=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
                    image2.setImageURI(null);
                    image2.setImageURI(uri);

                }
                catch (Exception e){

                }
            }
        }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "GET IMAGE FAILED",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                // Handle any errors
            }
        });

The image I am retrieving is not being set. The "GET IMAGE SUCCESSFUL" toast works. The "URI IS NULL" toast does not work. The command image2.setImageURI(null) works.

Just image2.setImageURI(uri) is not working.

You can't load images from the internet directly to an ImageView. But you can use a library like Glide to do it. To add Glide to your app, you need to add this line to your dependecies:

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0'

And to load your image:

Glide
    .with(getContext())
    .load(uri) // the uri you got from Firebase
    .centerCrop()
    .into(image2); //Your imageView variable

You can also use Picasso library. Add this to your gradle

compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'

Then to load the image,

Picasso.with(YourActivity.this).load(uri).into(image2);
