Retrieve image from Firebase Storage

I am trying to pull an image from Firebase storage so i can then use the URL of the image to put into an Imageview. Most of the answers i find are to do with android studio, no answers for xamarin. This is the code i have so far:

storage = FirebaseStorage.Instance;
storageRef = storage.GetReferenceFromUrl("gs://......com");

StorageReference ImageFolder = storageRef.Child("Images");
StorageReference UserFolder = ImageFolder.Child(auth.CurrentUser.Email);
StorageReference UserImage = storageRef.Child("profile pic");

I can upload to firebase storage no problem, its the retrieving part that is the problem. In firebase storage i have folder Images/userEmail/profilePic.

Any links or documentation someone could point me in the direction of or any help would be great thanks.

you could implement the IOnSuccessListener interface and get tht result int the OnSuccess method like this:

let your activity implement IOnSuccessListener interface:

public class YourActivity: Activity, IOnSuccessListener, IOnFailureListener
 {
  ...
 }

use Android.Gms.Tasks.Task download the file and set into imageview in the OnSuccess call back:

StorageReference ImageFolder = storageRef.Child("Images");
StorageReference UserFolder = ImageFolder.Child(auth.CurrentUser.Email);
StorageReference UserImage = UserFolder.Child("profile pic");
StorageReference testRef = UserImage.Child("test.jpg");
Task downloadtask = testRef.GetBytes(1200 * 800);
downloadtask.AddOnSuccessListener(this);
downloadtask.AddOnFailureListener(this);

public void OnFailure(Java.Lang.Exception e)
 {
    Log.WriteLine(LogPriority.Debug, "storage", "Failed:" + e.ToString());
 }

public void OnSuccess(Java.Lang.Object result)
 {
    Log.WriteLine(LogPriority.Debug, "storage", "success!");
    if (downloadtask != null)
    {
        var data = downloadtask.Result.ToArray<byte>();
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.DecodeByteArray(data, 0, data.Length);
        imageview.SetImageBitmap(bitmap);
        downloadtask = null;
    }
 }

there are several ways to do this
you could refer to the FireBase
