How do I set an image view to an Icon?

Question

I'm trying to load an image from Firebase Storage, put it inside an ImageView and set it to the bottom navigation bar icon, here's my code:

DocumentReference df = fstore.collection("Users").document(user.getUid());
    df.get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<DocumentSnapshot> task) {
            if (task.isSuccessful())
            {
                DocumentSnapshot doc = task.getResult();
                if (doc.exists())
                {
                    if (doc.get("profilePictureUrl")!= null) { //set profile pic into image view
                        String downloadUrl = doc.get("profilePictureUrl").toString();
                        Glide.with(BottomNavigationActivity.this).load(downloadUrl).into(profileImg);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    });

    //set icon only accepts a drawable file
    bottomNav.getMenu().getItem(4).setIcon(profileImg);'

but the setIcon method can only receive a drawable file, how do I solve this problem?

Yes it does, I'm already using the same code to set a profile picture in a profile fragment — Yassine, May 03 '22 at 07:31

If you need to set the image that you from downloadUrl to the icon that exists in the BottomNavigation, then you can convert it like this:

if (doc.get("profilePictureUrl")!= null) { //set profile pic into image view
    String downloadUrl = doc.get("profilePictureUrl").toString();
    Glide.with(BottomNavigationActivity.this)
        .load(downloadUrl)
        .into(profileImg);

    try {
        URL url = new URL(downloadUrl);
        InputStream inputStream = (InputStream) url.getContent();
        Drawable icon = Drawable.createFromStream(inputStream, "src name");
        bottomNav.getMenu().getItem(4).setIcon(icon);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
    }
}

I'm getting an error at `InputStream inputStream = (InputStream) url.getContent();` and the app crashes. – Yassine May 03 '22 at 12:18
What is the exact error that you get? What is the message you see in the logcat? Have you added the corresponding imports? – Alex Mamo May 03 '22 at 12:38
Have you solved the issue? – Alex Mamo May 04 '22 at 05:49
Yes I added the corresponding imports here's the error that I'm getting: https://imgur.com/a/poHhbmc – Yassine May 04 '22 at 08:14
Have you tried [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/66300622/5246885) out? Give it a try and tell me if it works. – Alex Mamo May 04 '22 at 08:25
Yes I did try moving my code to a thread before, still got the same error – Yassine May 04 '22 at 08:42
Without seeing what you have already tried, I cannot be much of a help. So what exactly have you done? – Alex Mamo May 04 '22 at 08:47
I tried the answers provided here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58285700/bottomnavigationview-set-custom-icon-downloaded-from-some-url But it still doesn't work, the shape of the icon changes corresponding to the picture but no image is loaded inside it. – Yassine May 04 '22 at 08:52
I'm sorry, "doesn't work" doesn't provide enough information so I can help. In general, other questions (issues) that derive from the initial question should be considered new questions and should be added separately here on StackOverflow separately. So please post a new question, using its own [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve), so I and other Firebase developers can help you. – Alex Mamo May 04 '22 at 08:57
I posted another question explaining what I tried to do in more details, however I don't think this is a problem of firebase storage anymore. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72110631/loading-an-image-inside-a-bottom-navigation-bar-item-icon-using-an-url – Yassine May 04 '22 at 09:25
I'll take a look and if I'll know the answer, I'll write to you. – Alex Mamo May 04 '22 at 09:28

Can I help you with other information regarding the initial issue? – Alex Mamo May 04 '22 at 10:09
I got a solution in the new post that I added, thank you for sticking with me much appreciated! – Yassine May 04 '22 at 10:13
