Issue
I have one ImageButton. Whenever We click on ImageButton Camera Intent is open and we take a snap. Everything is working till here is fine. So, How can I upload this camera Intent image to Firebase with authentication? I am not able to find any tutorial video which thought us this but I try to encode the image in a function name called submit. From here I don’t know what to do

Solution
I found two errors in your code, you’re not calling submit() method, so it never executes.
The second you did not make a instance of mstorageRef.
Check code below, i tested and uploaded an image. i am doing it without user authentication, for the sake of simplicity.
public class CameraActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ImageButton mProfileImage;
Bitmap photo;
private static final int CAMERA_REQ = 1;
StorageReference mstorageRef;
String userId;
private FirebaseAuth mAuth;
FirebaseUser firebaseUser;
FirebaseDatabase firebaseDatabase;
DatabaseReference ref;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mProfileImage = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.image_holder);
firebaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
ref = firebaseDatabase.getReference("ProfileInfo");
mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
firebaseUser = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
// userId = firebaseUser.getUid();
mProfileImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, CAMERA_REQ);
}
});
}
public void submit(){
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
photo.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byte[] b = stream.toByteArray();
StorageReference storageReference =FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference().child("documentImages").child("noplateImg");
//StorageReference filePath = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference().child("profile_images").child(userID);
storageReference.putBytes(b).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
Uri downloadUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();
Toast.makeText(CameraActivity.this, "uploaded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(CameraActivity.this,"failed",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CAMERA_REQ && resultCode ==RESULT_OK) {
photo = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
submit();
}
}
}
something to keep in mind
-
check firebase storage read write permissions are set to allow if not using user authentication.
-
camera is dangerous permission, you need to ask permission from user to use it. add permission in manifest and code for using camera
-
make sure your internet/wifi is on
