Firebase Storage and Android images

So I want to basically get an image from Firebase storage (I have rules set to public).

This is what I have

    ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    Glide.with(this)
    .load("https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/test-7c916.appspot.com/o/images.jpg?alt=media&token=b207cb11-9ad5-48e3-86ac-1dcb07ee6013")
    .into(image);

And I instead of using an https link. I want to use a storage reference. But everytime I try to use a storage reference my app crashes. Please help.

Like the .child() method.

Put this class FirebaseImageLoader.java into your source, or write yourself.

Make a class anywhere in your app source like below.

@GlideModule
public class MyAppGlideModule extends AppGlideModule {

@Override
public void registerComponents(Context context, Glide glide, Registry registry) {
    // Register FirebaseImageLoader to handle StorageReference
    registry.append(StorageReference.class, InputStream.class,
            new FirebaseImageLoader.Factory());
    }
}

Where you want to load image coad like below.

StorageReference storageReference = FirebaseStorage
                                    .getInstance().getReference().child("myimage");

Glide.with(getApplicationContext())
      .load(completeStorageRefranceToImage)
      .into(imageView);

Please refer for more details.

So used pRaNaY's code like this

    StorageReference storageReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference().child("images.jpg");
    ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    Glide.with(this).using(new FirebaseImageLoader()).load(storageReference).into(image );

There reason I want to use a reference is because I will have names of all the images in a txt file and I will read the names of images from it and create a while loop to load all the images I need into the right place.

Just one more question, How do i know if the image is null without checking if the ImageView is null?

You need to use StorageReference to load Firebase storage image.

   // Reference to an image file in Cloud Storage
StorageReference storageReference = = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference().child("myimage");


ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView);

// Load the image using Glide
Glide.with(this /* context */)
        .using(new FirebaseImageLoader())
        .load(storageReference)
        .into(image );

For more details You can check Using FirebaseUI to download and display images.
