Kotlin Firebase Storage - Get List of Files example - Image List with FirebaseRecyclerAdapter

We had known the way to upload/download data. In this tutorial, we’re gonna look at way to get list of files example – display list of Images with Firebase UI Database FirebaseRecyclerAdapter.

I. How to do

firebase-storage-display-list-goal

To display list of Images, we need to:
– add Firebase to Android App & enable Firebase Auth
– use Firebase Cloud Storage to upload and store images
– use Firebase Realtime Database to store images’ information (name + url)
– use FirebaseRecyclerAdapter to display images in RecyclerView with the help of Picasso lib.

0. Depedencies

After setup Project, build.gradle file (App-level):

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.4'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.0.4'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
    implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:2.3.0'

    implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

dependencies {

// ...

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.4'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.0.4'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:2.3.0'

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'

}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

1. Upload and store images

Use Firebase Cloud Storage:

// store image at "images/filename.extension" on Firebase Cloud Storage

imageReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().reference.child("images")
fileRef = imageReference!!.child(fileName + "." + getFileExtension(fileUri!!))

fileRef!!.putFile(fileUri!!)
        .addOnSuccessListener { taskSnapshot ->
            val name = taskSnapshot.metadata!!.name
            val url = taskSnapshot.downloadUrl.toString()

            // use Firebase Realtime Database to store [name + url]
            writeNewImageInfoToDB(name!!, url)
        }
        .addOnFailureListener { exception ->
            // ...
        }
        .addOnProgressListener { taskSnapshot ->
            // progress percentage
            val progress = 100.0 * taskSnapshot.bytesTransferred / taskSnapshot.totalByteCount
            // percentage in progress
            val intProgress = progress.toInt()
        }
        .addOnPausedListener { taskSnapshot ->
            // ... 
        }

// store image at "images/filename.extension" on Firebase Cloud Storage

imageReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().reference.child("images")

fileRef = imageReference!!.child(fileName + "." + getFileExtension(fileUri!!))

fileRef!!.putFile(fileUri!!)

.addOnSuccessListener { taskSnapshot ->

val name = taskSnapshot.metadata!!.name

val url = taskSnapshot.downloadUrl.toString()

// use Firebase Realtime Database to store [name + url]

writeNewImageInfoToDB(name!!, url)

}

.addOnFailureListener { exception ->

// ...

}

.addOnProgressListener { taskSnapshot ->

// progress percentage

val progress = 100.0 * taskSnapshot.bytesTransferred / taskSnapshot.totalByteCount

// percentage in progress

val intProgress = progress.toInt()

}

.addOnPausedListener { taskSnapshot ->

// ...

}

2. Store images’ information

Use Firebase Realtime Database:

dataReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("images")

private fun writeNewImageInfoToDB(name: String, url: String) {
    val info = UploadInfo(name, url)
    val key = dataReference!!.push().key
    dataReference!!.child(key).setValue(info)
}

dataReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("images")

private fun writeNewImageInfoToDB(name: String, url: String) {

val info = UploadInfo(name, url)

val key = dataReference!!.push().key

dataReference!!.child(key).setValue(info)

}

kotlin-firebase-storage-display-list-demo-database-console

3. Display list of Images

3.1 Model and ViewHolder

– Model class is a class that represents the data from Firebase:

class UploadInfo {

    var name: String = ""
    var url: String = ""
    // ...
}

class UploadInfo {

var name: String = ""

var url: String = ""

// ...

}

– ViewHolder layout (R.layout.item_image) with UI items that correspond to Model fields:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <TextView android:id="@+id/tvImgName" />
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/imgView" />

</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

– ViewHolder class contains Android UI fields that point to layout items:

import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
import android.view.View

class ImgViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView)

// viewHolder.itemView.imgView
// viewHolder.itemView.tvImgName

import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

import android.view.View

class ImgViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView)

// viewHolder.itemView.imgView

// viewHolder.itemView.tvImgName

3.2 FirebaseRecyclerAdapter subclass

We need a subclass of the FirebaseRecyclerAdapter and implement its populateViewHolder() method:

private var mAdapter: FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>? = null
// ...
// dataReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("images")

val query = dataReference!!.limitToLast(3)

mAdapter = object : FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>(
        UploadInfo::class.java, R.layout.item_image, ImgViewHolder::class.java, query) {

    override fun populateViewHolder(viewHolder: ImgViewHolder?, model: UploadInfo?, position: Int) {
        viewHolder!!.itemView.tvImgName.text = model!!.name
        Picasso.with(this@StorageActivity)
                .load(model.url)
                .error(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark)
                .into(viewHolder.itemView.imgView)
    }
}

private var mAdapter: FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>? = null

// ...

// dataReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("images")

val query = dataReference!!.limitToLast(3)

mAdapter = object : FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>(

UploadInfo::class.java, R.layout.item_image, ImgViewHolder::class.java, query) {

override fun populateViewHolder(viewHolder: ImgViewHolder?, model: UploadInfo?, position: Int) {

viewHolder!!.itemView.tvImgName.text = model!!.name

Picasso.with(this@StorageActivity)

.load(model.url)

.error(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark)

.into(viewHolder.itemView.imgView)

}

Now look at these lines of code:

val query = dataReference!!.limitToLast(3)

mAdapter = object : FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>(
        UploadInfo::class.java, R.layout.item_image, ImgViewHolder::class.java, query)

val query = dataReference!!.limitToLast(3)

mAdapter = object : FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>(

UploadInfo::class.java, R.layout.item_image, ImgViewHolder::class.java, query)

– We tell FirebaseRecyclerAdapter object to use UploadInfo.class when reading from the database.
– Each Message will be displayed in a R.layout.item_image (that has 2 elements: tvImgName, imgView).
– We indicate class for ViewHolder
– We can just give reference to database node or sort/filter data by using Query:

val query = mDataReference

val query = mDataReference.orderByKey()
// orderByValue() or orderByChild("...")

val query = mDataReference.limitToLast(8)
// limitToFirst(..), startAt(...), endAt(...), equalTo(...)

val query = mDataReference

val query = mDataReference.orderByKey()

// orderByValue() or orderByChild("...")

val query = mDataReference.limitToLast(8)

// limitToFirst(..), startAt(...), endAt(...), equalTo(...)

FirebaseRecyclerAdapter will call populateViewHolder() method for each Model it finds in database. It passes us the Model and a ViewHolder.
So what we should do is map the fields from model to the correct UI elements:

override fun populateViewHolder(viewHolder: ImgViewHolder?, model: UploadInfo?, position: Int) {
    viewHolder!!.itemView.tvImgName.text = model!!.name
    Picasso.with(this@StorageActivity)
            .load(model.url)
            .error(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark)
            .into(viewHolder.itemView.imgView)
}

override fun populateViewHolder(viewHolder: ImgViewHolder?, model: UploadInfo?, position: Int) {

viewHolder!!.itemView.tvImgName.text = model!!.name

Picasso.with(this@StorageActivity)

.load(model.url)

.error(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark)

.into(viewHolder.itemView.imgView)

}

3.3 RecyclerView

Now we set the adapter for RecyclerView object to provide child views on demand:

val layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
layoutManager.reverseLayout = false
// rcvListImg: RecyclerView item from layout file
rcvListImg.setHasFixedSize(true)
rcvListImg.layoutManager = layoutManager

// mAdapter: FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>?
rcvListImg.adapter = mAdapter

val layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)

layoutManager.reverseLayout = false

// rcvListImg: RecyclerView item from layout file

rcvListImg.setHasFixedSize(true)

rcvListImg.layoutManager = layoutManager

// mAdapter: FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<UploadInfo, ImgViewHolder>?

rcvListImg.adapter = mAdapter

Remember to call adapter cleanup() method to stop listening for changes in the Firebase database:

override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()

    mAdapter!!.cleanup()
}

override fun onDestroy() {

super.onDestroy()

mAdapter!!.cleanup()

}

II. Practice

1. Goal

We will build an Android App that can:
– create Account, sign in/sign out for Firebase Authentication.
– read/write user to Firebase Realtime Database.
(2 lines above come from this Post).
– upload image to Firebase Cloud Storage (from this Post)
– display list of Images using FirebaseUI FirebaseRecyclerAdapter.

kotlin-firebase-storage-display-list-demo-app-goal

2. Technology

– Gradle 3.0.1
– Android Studio 3.x
– Firebase Android SDK 11.x
– Firebase UI Database 2.3.0
– Picasso 2.5.2

3. Project Structure

kotlin-firebase-storage-display-list-structure

LoginActivity is for Authentication, then user can enter StorageActivity to upload Image to Firebase Storage, Image’s information to Firebase Database, and show list of Images.

4. Step by step

4.1 Create Android Project

– Generate new Android Project with package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.firebase.storagerealdb.
– Add Firebase Auth, Firebase Realtime Database, Firebase Storage, Picasso.
– Check dependency after setup Project, build.gradle file (App-level):

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.1'
    // ...
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.4'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.0.4'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
    implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:2.3.0'

    implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

dependencies {

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.1'

// ...

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.4'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:11.0.4'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'

implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:2.3.0'

implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'

}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

4.2 Enable Firebase Auth

Go to Your Firebase Project Console -> Authentication -> SIGN-IN METHOD -> Enable Email/Password.

4.3 Model

package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.firebase.storagerealdb.model

import com.google.firebase.database.IgnoreExtraProperties

@IgnoreExtraProperties
class UploadInfo {

    var name: String = ""
    var url: String = ""

    constructor() {}

    constructor(name: String, url: String) {
        this.name = name
        this.url = url
    }
}

package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.firebase.storagerealdb.model

import com.google.firebase.database.IgnoreExtraProperties

@IgnoreExtraProperties

class UploadInfo {

var name: String = ""

var url: String = ""

constructor() {}

constructor(name: String, url: String) {

this.name = name

this.url = url

}
