Firebase custom application setup

customApp= new FirebaseApp(getApplicationContext(),"My News",<to be filled>);
    storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance(customApp);

I'm new to firebase and what is the exact use of the custom App.

I want to create a custom app to upload large files to google cloud storage using firebase. is that custom app recommended for me?

Great answer Mr. Frank van Puffelen. It's working for me (imported bucket from Google Cloud Storage.)

mStorageRef = FirebaseStorage.getInstance("gs://c......s").getReference();

Download the file from google cloud storage to a local device using firebase.

final StorageReference downloadRef;
        downloadRef = mStorageRef.getRoot().child(downloadPath);

        try {
            File output = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + Config.MY_VIDEOS_PATH);
            if (!output.exists()) {
                output.mkdir();
            }
            localFile = new File(output, downloadId);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        // Download and get total bytes
        downloadRef.getFile(localFile)
                .addOnProgressListener(new OnProgressListener<FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onProgress(FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                        showProgressNotification(title, "",
                                taskSnapshot.getBytesTransferred(),
                                taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount());
                    }
                })
                .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "download:SUCCESS");
                        // Send success broadcast with number of bytes downloaded
                        broadcastDownloadFinished(downloadPath, taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount());
                        showDownloadFinishedNotification(downloadPath, (int) taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount());

                        // Mark task completed
                        taskCompleted();
                    }
                })
                .addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
                        Log.w(TAG, "download:FAILURE", exception);
                        Log.w(TAG, "download:FAILURE", exception.getCause());

                        // Send failure broadcast
                        broadcastDownloadFinished(downloadPath, -1);
                        showDownloadFinishedNotification(downloadPath, -1);

                        // Mark task completed
                        taskCompleted();
                    }
                });

If you're new to Firebase, chances are you don't need a custom FirebaseApp. Instead, just use FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference() as shown in the Firebase Storage documentation.

No need to use customApp;

Simply we can use 

storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance("gs://<Google cloud storage bucket name>");

If we want storage references then

mStorageRef = storage.getReferenceFromUrl("gs://<Google cloud storage bucket name>");

  @Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    FirebaseOptions options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
            .setApiKey("AI...3LnY")
            .setStorageBucket("gs://f...t")
            .setApplicationId("1:356....:android:f......232")
            .build();
    customApp = FirebaseApp.initializeApp(getApplicationContext(),options,"MyApp");
    //storage
    storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance(customApp);`enter code here`

}
