hey guys,i am using firebase and i try to upload a picture using their method upload from a local file.
UploadTask uploadTask = currentPicRef.putFile(file, metadata); When the user pick's image from the gallery or taking a picture via the camera the picture is saved in external storage and I save the uri in shared preference. I successfully loaded the image into an imageview using the setImageURI(uri) method, but When I call the firebase method and using the same uri (Uri file = Uri.fromFile(new File(fileName));) I get the error "could not locate file for uploading:file:///content%3A/media/external/images/media/22943" but when I use log to check the local file I get "uri is content://media/external/images/media/22943" also worth to mention that when I used uri.parse() instead uri.fromFile() in firebase to upload from a local file it uploaded the metadata but not the photo itself. Any ideas how to fix it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
