I. How to download file

To use the Firebase Storage to download file, we need: - add Firebase to Android App & enable Firebase Auth - create a reference to the full path of the file, including the file name - download file using getBytes() for in-memory data, getFile() for local file.

To know way to add Firebase to Android App & enable Firebase Auth, please visit previous post:

This tutorial bases on the code from that post, and continues with download methods.

1. Create a Reference

// From our app
StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReference();
// With an initial file path and name

StorageReference pathReference = storageRef.child(“images/javasampleapproach.jpg”);
// To a file from a Google Cloud Storage URI

StorageReference gsReference = storage.getReferenceFromUrl(“gs://javasampleapproach-storage.appspot.com/images/javasampleapproach.jpg”);
// From an HTTPS URL

StorageReference httpsReference = storage.getReferenceFromUrl(“https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/javasampleapproach-storage.appspot.com/o/images%2Fjavasampleapproach.jpg”);
