Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! (unlike DownloadURL() which is depreciated)
The issue started when i updated Android Studio and moved all my code over to AndroidX material design support library. (was not expecting so much rebuilding)
Here is my current set up:
Log.d(TAG, "uploadNewPhoto: attempting to upload new photo"); FilePaths filePaths = new FilePaths(); //Case 1 new photo if (photoType.equals(mContext.getString(R.string.profile_photo))){ String user_id = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid(); StorageReference storageReference = mStorageReference .child(filePaths.FIREBASE_IMAGE_STORAGE + "/" + user_id + "/photo" + (count + 1)); //Convert image url to bitmap Bitmap bm = ImageManager.getBitmap(imgUrl); byte[] bytes = ImageManager.getBytesFromBitmap(bm, 100); UploadTask uploadTask = null; uploadTask = storageReference.putBytes(bytes); uploadTask.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() { @Override public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) { ****Uri filebaseUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();**** Toast.makeText(mContext, "Photo Upload Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //add new photo to photos node and user_photos node //navigate to main feed so user can see photo } }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() { @Override public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) { Log.d(TAG, "onFailure: Photo upload failed."); Toast.makeText(mContext, "Photo upload failed. ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }).addOnProgressListener(new OnProgressListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() { @Override public void onProgress(@NonNull UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) { double progress = (100 * taskSnapshot.getBytesTransferred()) / taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount(); if (progress - 15 > mPhotoUploadProgress){ Toast.makeText(mContext, "photo upload progress: " + String.format("%.0f", progress) + "%", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); mPhotoUploadProgress = progress; } } }); }else if (photoType.equals(mContext.getString(R.string.profile_photo))){ } //case 2 new profile photo }
