Why are you saving images as texts in Local Storage of Device.
You can directly upload the images to Firebase Storage.

How to retrieve stored data from the firebase storage?

[Chirubot (Bot)]

I guess its Image not data, If its data use Firebase Database

You can’t get the Image but you can surely Download it

@Chirubot

Call Firebase Storage .Download File

• This helps to download a File from the Console.
• You have to specify the File name including the format, you can get the File Name when you upload the File to Firebase and get the File Name from the Block Upload Success.
• You also have to specify the folder of the file, nothing complicated, you can get the folder which is the upload path when you upload the File to Firebase and get the Upload Path from the Block Upload Success.
• When this block is raised, any one of the When Firebase Storage .Download Success and When Firebase Storage .Download Failed is triggered.

Inputs
File ~ Text ~ File Name with Format.
To Folder ~ Text ~ Upload Path.

If you want to get Image, there is an alternative.

• Upload File
• Get the URL
• Store to Firebase Database
• Get URL whenever you want
• Set the Image URL to

Hi everyone!
Good job and good guide!
I am an absolute begginer, so i hope your understanding
I think i followed all your indications but i’ve got some problems:
First, once downloaded to my phone i find this message at starting

Second, I uploaded an audio file (.wav) to FB Storage and got the link and put it in Database with its tag, then i’ve coded the blocks: call db get value , when db got value , set player source to value , call player start
i think allthing is done ok, but it isn’t working, because when running the app this is stopped like waiting for the audio file source, so the event when player completed is not raised

Any tip will be warmly appreciated.
Regards!

Hi @ciagarroq,
Are you using any other services of Firebase except Firebase Storage?
I understand this error is from Firebase Authentication
If you are using many services then try to catch the component using Error Occured Blocks

[ciagarroq]

Hi Chirubot! Thanks for your answer

Besides FS I’m using Realtime Database for tags and values for my app

I don’t understand why Firebase Authentication could be the problem, i’m not using it in my app

I’ll try your tip about Error Occured Blocks,
in the meanwhile i drop her some screencaptures hoping they help to more clarifications:

Any tip or suggestion or clarification and any claim will be warmly appreciated!
Regards!

Here is your problem:

Links starting with gs:// are internal only for firebase. You need to capture the correct external link, which should look something like this:

https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/<storageAppID>/o/<projectBucket>%2F<filename>?alt=media

[GaryH (Organic Gary)]

So do I need to use the firebase component as well since there isn’t any firebase info to be added to the component?

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

Yes you can Organic Gary.

[GaryH (Organic Gary)]

So, just to be clear… I need to have firebase_database and firebase_storage on the same screen?

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

You can use both of them Organic Gary.

[ciagarroq]

Hi and thanks lot TimAi2!
I’ve tried your solution, but i can’t see if it is right because of this error when starting

Since i am an absolute begginer, i don’t know how to solve the error

All tips will be warmly appreciated!

[Chirubot (Bot)]

I guess you are using Firebase Authentication and the issue may be related to Firebase Authentication

[ciagarroq]

Thanks again, Chirubot!

I don’t know enough about Firebase Authentication and so, what is the related matter with my project
I’ve already read some times about your before suggestion, this one → Firebase Authentication - Kodular Docs
but i don’t still know what is the problem and so, what to start to do about

So, please, any link for absolute begginers with description and examples?
It will be warmly appreciated for me!!

[Guide] How to use Firebase Authentication on

Hello Koders! In this guide, I’m going to explain how to use the “Firebase Authentication” component in yoour apps and it’s utilities. I hope you find it useful What is Firebase Authentication? Firebase Authentication is a service that allow your users to log in and sing up into your app. Basically, you can have a login service for free with this componet/service. You don’t need any extension, because already have it. How to add it? It’s simple. Go to the …

[Douglas_Maueski]

Excellent guide. I liked it and it is well explained.

[ciagarroq]

Thanks Alaqmar for your answer

To Alaqmar and Chirubot and whoever that can help me:

I’m still quite confused, because of i don’t want the users to log in and sign up into my app.
I just want they to open my app and just run it, nothing more…

My problem appeared when i wanted to load my images to Firebase Storage instead the phones of the users. From there, the error messages what i’ve indicated in my messages before.

I’m keeping on answers.
Regards!

[Alaqmar_Bohori (Alaqmar)]

Hi Ciagarroq.
I read your error message once again and now I think that you are storing the images on your own servers via Firebase. Is that so?

[ciagarroq]

Thanks Alaqmar

Yes, i am storing images and audio files in Firebase Storage.
But i am not using all of them by now, just the one i tell you here

Since i tried this tip:

@TimAi2

Los enlaces que comienzan con gs:// son internos solo para firebase. Necesita capturar el enlace externo correcto, que debería verse así:

https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/<storageAppID>/o/<projectBucket>%2F<filename>?alt=media

then i put this link in Realtime Database as the value for my tag in my project

“https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/parejasara-ee08d.appspot.com/o/aplauso3s.wav?alt=media&token=d743fcce-6a38-4bd7-80ef-bb3fd57b4e79”

And it gives the error i mentioned

So, what next to do, please?

Regards!

@TimAi2

<projectBucket>%2F

Where is this in your url ? Or are you simply storing files in your root folder ?

The error message you see is to do with how Kodular connects with Firebase - (configuration). Search the forum for the answer.
