How to save images on Firebase

I am using firebase as a backend for my android app and i want to save images on firebase and retrieve it back in my app.Somebody please tell me how to accomplish this.

Answer 1

You can store like this:

Bitmap bmp =  BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.chicken);//your image
ByteArrayOutputStream bYtE = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, bYtE);
bmp.recycle();
byte[] byteArray = bYtE.toByteArray();
String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);  

And then:

byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(encodedImage, Base64.DEFAULT);
Bitmap decodedByte = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedString, 0, decodedString.length);

Good luck!
