You will have to register a callback on getDownloadUrl() like below because it is an instance of Task, not String. Task is asynchronous, you can't just do toString() to get an url.

dateRef.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Uri>(){
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(Uri downloadUrl) {                
           //do something with downloadurl
        } 
    });
