Why does Glide not Working with Firebase Storage

Question

I'm trying to load image from Firebase storage, but getting exception while using Glide

My Code

storageReference=FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference().child("profiles/"+firebaseUser.getUid()+"/"+"profilePic");
            Glide.with(FinishIntroActivity.this)
                    .load(storageReference.getDownloadUrl())
                    .into(profileFinishImg);

My Gradle

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0'

Exception i am getting

W/Glide: Load failed for com.google.android.gms.tasks.zzu@669eaa8 with size [525x525]

As you can see from the documentation, getDownloadUrl() doesn't acutally return a URL. It asynchronously returns a Task that will give you the URL if you add a listener to it. You will only get that URL after it's delivered to the listener, and you don't have a guarantee when that will complete.

I suggest reading the answer to this other question for more details and examples: How to get URL from Firebase Storage getDownloadURL

Another alternative is to use FirebaseUI Storage as a plugin for Glide that will do most of the hard work for you.
