Simple Implementation Firebase Storage in Android Studio Projects

In this project I used a relatively simple example to implement one of the features on a firebase platform that is firebase storage,
I want to show the beginners and newcomers and also the experienced mobile application developers,
how powerful and easy it is to use the cloud storage feature of firebase.

I also want to motivate people to handle the governance techniques
how to use cloud platform which is the solution of future development.

HOW TO USE THIS PROJECT

1.Clone or Download This Repository

2.As always the first step is open the Android Studio and Open Existing Project then select the project you have downloaded or clone earlier.

3.When your project is loaded, you can add Firebase storage to it.

To add Firebase Storage, click on Tools -> Firebase

An assistant window would open in left with all the firebase features. We have to select Firebase Storage from the list.

Now you will see a link saying Upload and Download a File with Firebase Storage click on it.

Click on Connect to Firebase. You will see a dialog asking to create a new firebase app or choose an existing one.

Now Click on the second button Add Firebase Storage to Your App.

Then click on accept changes and firebase storage is added.

4.Upload Layout
You can see the upload layout here.

We have the following components in the above layout code.

Choose Button: We will tap this button to choose an image from the gallery.

EditText Enter Name: In this EditText we will put the label for the chosen image.

ImageView: The middle area (you cann’t see it in the layout because it is blank ImageView) contains an ImageView where we will display the chosen image.

Upload Button: Tapping this button will upload the selected image to Firebase Storage.

TextView Uploads: Tapping this TextView will open another activity where we will display the uploaded images with labels.

This is the activity_main.xml code

preview of the layout above

5.The Upload Process Code
in the main folder I have create three main code for doing the upload process

Constants.java

This Class developed for Defining Firebase Constants

MainAcvtivity.java

Defining View Objects and Constants

initialize the the objects and attach click listeners in OnCreate method

File Chooser Method

Handle the Intent result by overriding onActivityResult method

overriden method onClick() for calling showFileChooser() method

Getting Selected File Extension

Uploading the File to Firebase Storage

Upload.java

This Class developed for Building Database Model for uploaded image

By learning this repository I hope, with beginner development experience only.
the developers can use a reliable, simple, and cost-effective storage object created for the Google scale.
For android applications that they are developing.
