FIREBASE STORAGE

3. How does it work?
 Firebase Cloud Storage stores your files (Images or
Videos) in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
 These files can be accessible through both Firebase and
Google Cloud.
 So developers choose firebase storage so that the
applications will be more flexible and user can upload
and download files from mobile devices. Developers
use Firebase SDKs for this.

10. STEP 3 : Upload a File
Uri file = Uri.fromFile(new File("path/to/images/codekaksha.jpg"));
StorageReference riversRef = storageRef.child("images/rivers.jpg");
riversRef.putFile(file)
.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
// Get a URL to the uploaded content
Uri downloadUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
// Handle unsuccessful uploads
// ...
}
});
Add this code in onClickListener of Upload Button.
