Download image from HTTPS and upload to firebase storage in Android Studio

Question

I need to upload the thumbnails of my files from the web to firebase storage. The URL is always like

https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?authuser=0&sz=w320&id=1086hD9ShV98klN4n3o187V_DdNTzXsiZyPn20nUHBM4

with the HTTPS and I'm having a lot of trouble doing this

In order to upload to firebase storage, I can use a bitmap, inputStream, URL, or a local File

I have tried with many different libraries, Picasso, glide,... but I always get the same error of file not found. From what I read here, I think it is because it is an HTTPS

How can I do this?

Thanks!

EDIT:

I tried using the glide library as sugested, but didnt work with all urls, this is my code:

// the thmbnail link is combined with the fileId
        String thumbnailLink = "https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?authuser=0&sz=w320&id=" + databasePost.getFileId();
        Log.i("SecondActivity", "thumbnailLink: "+ thumbnailLink );

        String thumbnailId = databasePost.getFileId() + ".png";

        Glide.with(this)
                .asBitmap()
                .load(thumbnailLink)
                .into(new CustomTarget<Bitmap>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResourceReady(@NonNull Bitmap image, @Nullable Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {
                        Log.i("SecondActivity", "loadBitmap: resource ready " );

                        String thumbnailId = databasePost.getFileId() + ".png";

                        StorageReference postRef = storage.child("thumbnails").child(thumbnailId);

                        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
                        byte[] data = baos.toByteArray();

                        UploadTask uploadTask = postRef.putBytes(data);
                        uploadTask.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
                            @Override
                            public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                                Log.i("SecondActivity", "saveThumbnailToStorage: success");
                                databasePost.setThumbnailId(thumbnailId);
                              //  saveDataToDatabase(databasePost);
                            }
                        }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                                Log.i("SecondActivity", "saveThumbnailToStorage: error: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
                            }
                        });
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onLoadCleared(@Nullable Drawable placeholder) {
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onLoadFailed(@Nullable Drawable errorDrawable) {
                        super.onLoadFailed(errorDrawable);
                        Log.i("SecondActivity", "loadBitmap: error: " + errorDrawable);

                    }
                });

This is the error I get:

I have android 10 and glide version 4.11

Answer 1

I finally discovered what was causing this error. So basically I was trying to upload the thumbnail right after uploading the file but if I did the exact same but some time after uploading it worked fine.

Apparently you have to wait sometime after uplaoding so that the link t the thumbnail is valid so now I'm using the exact same code to upload with glide but before using it I wait 10 seconds and it works perfectly!

     try {
                TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(10);

   String thumbnailLink = "https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?authuser=0&sz=w320&id=" + databasePost.getFileId();
        Log.i("SecondActivity", "thumbnailLink: "+ thumbnailLink );

        String thumbnailId = databasePost.getFileId() + ".png";

        Glide.with(this)
                .asBitmap()
                .load(thumbnailLink)
                .into(new CustomTarget<Bitmap>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResourceReady(@NonNull Bitmap image, @Nullable Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {
                        Log.i("SecondActivity", "loadBitmap: resource ready " );

                        String thumbnailId = databasePost.getFileId() + ".png";

                        StorageReference postRef = storage.child("thumbnails").child(thumbnailId);

                        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
                        byte[] data = baos.toByteArray();

                        UploadTask uploadTask = postRef.putBytes(data);
                        uploadTask.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
                            @Override
                            public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                                Log.i("SecondActivity", "saveThumbnailToStorage: success");
                                databasePost.setThumbnailId(thumbnailId);
                              //  saveDataToDatabase(databasePost);
                            }
                        }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                                Log.i("SecondActivity", "saveThumbnailToStorage: error: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
                            }
                        });
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onLoadCleared(@Nullable Drawable placeholder) {
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onLoadFailed(@Nullable Drawable errorDrawable) {
                        super.onLoadFailed(errorDrawable);
                        Log.i("SecondActivity", "loadBitmap: error: " + errorDrawable);

                    }
                });

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                Log.i("UploadPostActivity", "failure sleep: "+e.getMessage());
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

Answer 2

If I understood correctly first of all you have a problem loading the image. I'm not sure that the url you specified can be loaded without API (it is not possible to open it in the browser for me)

Have you tried any other image/url?

Check in the log where the error is...

You can load bitmap with Glide (working code):

private void loadBitmapByGlide(String imageUrl, String imageName) {
        Glide.with(this)
                .asBitmap()
                .load(imageUrl)
                .into(new CustomTarget<Bitmap>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResourceReady(@NonNull Bitmap image, @Nullable Transition<? super Bitmap> transition) {
                        //TODO upload image to firebase storage or something else
                        //String imagePath = savePNG(resource, imageName);
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image loaded: " + image.getWidth() + "-" + image.getHeight(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }

                    @Override
                    public void onLoadCleared(@Nullable Drawable placeholder) {

                    }
                });
    }
