Good afternoon, I had the question of how it is possible to get a text document from the firebase storage and read it in my android studio application. What happens that I have been looking for all day and I can not find any place where I explain how to get a text file from the storage of firebase and read it, if someone can clarify the doubt would be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance.
It is not very complicated, first you create a path where the file is stored in firebase
StorageReference pathReference = storageRef.child("images/stars.jpg");
Then you create a FilePath inside the device where the file will be saved
File localFile = File.createTempFile("images", "jpg");
Finally you get the file with getFile()
pathReference.getFile(localFile).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
// Local temp file has been created
//Aqui ya obtuviste el archivo, asi que puedes chequear su tamaño con
un log
Log.e("Tamaño del archivo",""+datasnapshot.getByteCount(); //creo que era byte count pero con un get byte obtenias el tamaño del archivo
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
// Handle any errors
}
});
Then if you want you can put localFile.getAbsolutePath() and get where you have saved the txt file
I hope you serve, everything I wrote you got from the official documentation of firebase, where you can find how to save in memory, and other storage options, I recommend you read the documentation here
