Using Firebase Storage in server

Question

I learned from past thread that Firebase Database for plain JVM can be accessed from the new server SDK. So now I could use Firebase Database SDK for my JavaFX project, but how do I use the Storage SDK?

Sadly, Firebase Storage doc doesn't mention anything about setting up storage in server. StorageReference is also not available from com.google.firebase:firebase-server-sdk:[3.0.0,) or com.google.firebase:firebase-server-sdk:3.0.1.

So were you successful in implementing firebase storage in server? — Parag Kadam, Jul 04 '16 at 08:51

Firebase Storage does not have a server SDK, but because it's backed by Google Cloud Storage, you can use the GCS server SDKs. Here are the GCS docs for accessing it from Java.

In the Gradle File add compile 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-storage:1.7.0' or latest java library

If the Storage url is say gs://some-bucket-name.appspot.com/directory/some_blob.zip then STORAGE_BUCKET must be some-bucket-name.appspot.com and path should be directory/some_blob.zip

private long getSize(String path) {

    Storage storage = StorageOptions.newBuilder()
            .setProjectId(STORAGE_BUCKET)
            // Optionally Add credentials
            //.setCredentials(GoogleCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream(jsonFile)))
            .build()
            .getService();

    // Optional third parameter to limit fields returned, just getting size for my use case
    Blob blob = storage.get(STORAGE_BUCKET, path, Storage.BlobGetOption.fields(Storage.BlobField.SIZE));
    if (blob != null) {
        return blob.getSize();
    }
    return 0;
}
