Why I can't get data from Firebase Storage?

Question

I need to get data from Firebase Storage and Firestore Database. I get text data from Firestore Database (links of images and songs in Firebase Storage), but I can't retrieve song and stream it in my app. I get an error form logcat:

E/StorageUtil: error getting token java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.google.firebase.internal.api.FirebaseNoSignedInUserException: Please sign in before trying to get a token.

But I don't sign in users in my app.

logcat also writes an error:

E/StorageException: {  "error": {    "code": 404,    "message": "Not Found."  }}
    java.io.IOException: {  "error": {    "code": 404,    "message": "Not Found."  }}

logcat:

Here I get text data from server:

ArrayList childItemList = new ArrayList<>();
FirebaseFirestore db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
db.collection(category).get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<QuerySnapshot> task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            progressDialog.dismiss();
            for (QueryDocumentSnapshot document : task.getResult()) {
                Log.d(TAG, document.getId() + " => " + document.getData());
                ChildItem childItem = new ChildItem();
                childItem.setTrackTitle(document.getString("title"));
                childItem.setAuthor(document.getString("author"));
                childItem.setDuration(document.getString("duration"));
                childItem.setImage(document.getString("image"));
                childItem.setTrack(document.getString("track"));
                childItemList.add(childItem);
            }
        } else {
            Log.w(TAG, "Error getting documents.", task.getException());
            Toast.makeText(BrowseTracksActivity.this, task.getException() + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
        }
        childItemList.add(getDefaultChildItem());
        setAdapter();
    }
});

Here I'm trying to stream song (I'm sending link of the song through intent to another activity):

Intent intent=getIntent();
music= new MediaPlayer();
music.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
try {
    String s=intent.getStringExtra("track");
    music.setDataSource(intent.getStringExtra("track"));
    music.prepare();
    music.start();

    Toast.makeText(this, "Audio started playing..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
    // this line of code is use to handle error while playing our audio file.
    Toast.makeText(this, "Error found is " + e, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Answer 1

the error tells you that you need to sign in your users first. If you don't want to sign in your users, but want them to access the database, You can give them a token by signing them in anonymously. This way, you don't have to collect authentication data eg email, password, social login etc.

You can log in your user in the main activity without interrupting the flow.

Here is the code

mAuth.signInAnonymously()
    .addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
            if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                // Sign in success, User can now write and read the database.
                Log.d(TAG, "signInAnonymously:success");
                FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
                updateUI(user);
            } else {
                // If sign in fails, display a message to the user.
                Log.w(TAG, "signInAnonymously:failure", task.getException());
                Toast.makeText(AnonymousAuthActivity.this, "Authentication failed.",
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                updateUI(null);
            }
        }
    });

Initialize FirebaseAuth in the onCreate method.

Here is the firebase documentation Firebase anonymous log in Android

Don't forget to change your database rules

"rules": {
".read": "auth != null",
".write": "auth != null"

} }

OR...

You can allow all users to read and write your database (Not recommended), by just changing your rules to

"rules": {
".read": "auth == null",
".write": "auth == null"}
