Firebase - StorageException: StorageException has occurred -> Object does not exist at location

Question

What I'm basically trying to do here is get an image from the phone, choose it, show it on the screen, and upload it to the Firebase storage.

After looking at a lot of other answers on the internet and even here, I still couldn't understand why that UploadFile function still doesn't work.

for now, I implemented a progress bar (while on progress) on failure toast and if the user didn't choose an image I also created a toast.

but something is getting wrong with the OnSuccess all I have commented out all the irrelevant things and left only the toast message and still it doesn't work and getting me the exception.

Here is the code:

public class PhotoActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    //using this videos:

    private StorageReference mStorageRef;
    private DatabaseReference mDatabaseRef;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Log.i( "PhotoActivity","created activity");
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_photo);

        //cosmetics for splash screen

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

I found solution, when i got to know that i have to give complete path of an image:

storageReference.child("users").child(userID).child("screenshot")
          .child(imagePath).getFile(localFile)
