StorageException: An unknown error occurred, please check the HTTP result code and inner exception for server response

Question

I use Firebase Storage to upfile. But it does not work THIS IS MY CODE.

FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReferenceFromUrl("gs://the-food-house.appspot.com/");
// Create a reference to "file"
    StorageReference mStorage = storageRef.child("Album Avatar")
            .child(UserUID)
            .child(AvatarUser.getLastPathSegment());
    mStorage.putFile(AvatarUser).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
            Toast.makeText(SignUpWithEmail.this, "UPLOAD FILE OK", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
            Log.d("ERROR", e.toString());
            Toast.makeText(SignUpWithEmail.this, "Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };

This is rule firebase:

allow read, write: if request.auth != null;

It has given me a headache these past few days. Hope that someone finds the problem. Help me please. Thank you.

Solution 1

This Sorted me out, All I needed to do was to update the firebase-storage lib. In my case it was 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:16.4.0' and after updating it to 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:17.0.0' everything start working fine again.

Solution 2

update your firebase-storage dependency

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:17.0.0'

Solution 3

You can't use putFile() with an HTTP type Uri. According to the documentation, you're supposed to use it to upload a local file.

If you want to upload a file to Storage that exists somewhere else referenced by an HTTP URL, you'll have to download that file first, store it locally, then upload it.

Solution 4

So the I had the same problem and I easily fixed it!, so this is not a problem with firebase, but the problem is that your file can not be accessed from your local disk!

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

for api 21+ you will need to request permission, for security reasons, check this article for more information: How to request storage permission

Solution 5

Using putStream() is the the recommended way for most files instead of putFile() (for local files on the device) like so:

InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(new File(pathToYourFile)));

UploadTask uploadTask = imageFileStorageReference.putStream(stream);

Thanks, mine default rule for write was "write if false" on a new project, it should've been "write if request.auth != null" so only authenticated users can write. I spent hours trying to debug as previously on new projects, the default was always "write if request.auth != null; ", now it seems default is false
