How to resolve W/NetworkRequest: errors while trying to download image from Firebase Storage

I'm currently creating an android project (A Vehicle Rental System) with Firebase as a server. Realtime Database is alright, meanwhile, every time I try to access the images stored in the Firebase Storage, it always gives out an error:
W/NetworkRequest: no auth token for request
W/NetworkRequest: No App Check token for request.
W/NetworkRequest: error sending network request GET /*insert imageURI here*/ failed
W/ExponenentialBackoff: network unavailable, sleeping.
Here is my CustomAdapter:
private ArrayList<ModelItem> modelItemsArrayList;
private OnItemClickListener onItemClickListener;
private static final String TAG = "ModelAdapter: ";
private FirebaseStorage storage;
private StorageReference storageReference;
private Context context;
public interface OnItemClickListener{
void onItemClick(int position);
}
public void setOnItemClickListener(OnItemClickListener listener) {
onItemClickListener = listener;
}
public static class ModelAdapterViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{
public ImageView modelImageView;
public TextView modelTextView;
public TextView brandTextView;
public CardView modelCardView;
public ModelAdapterViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView, OnItemClickListener listener) {
super(itemView);
modelImageView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.cvFrontProfileImageView);
modelTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.cvModelTextView);
brandTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.cvBrandTextView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(view -> {
if(listener != null) {
int position = getBindingAdapterPosition();
if(position != RecyclerView.NO_POSITION) {
listener.onItemClick(position);
}
}
});
}
}
public ModelAdapter(ArrayList<ModelItem> modelItemsArrayList) {
Log.d(TAG, "ModelAdapter: called");
this.modelItemsArrayList = modelItemsArrayList;
Log.d(TAG, "ModelAdapter: modelItemsArrayList.size() = " + modelItemsArrayList.size());
}
#NonNull
#Override
public ModelAdapterViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.model_item_cardview, parent, false);
return new ModelAdapterViewHolder(view, onItemClickListener);
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull ModelAdapter.ModelAdapterViewHolder holder, int position) {
//enter data from Firebase here
ModelItem currentItem = modelItemsArrayList.get(position);
Log.d(TAG, "modelItemsArraylist.size() = " + modelItemsArrayList.size());
storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
storageReference = storage.getReferenceFromUrl("gs://roadtrip-7a905.appspot.com/")
.child(currentItem.getmImageResource());
try {
Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: inside try catch nest");
final File file = File.createTempFile("image", "jpg");
storageReference.getFile(file).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
holder.modelImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: " + file.getPath() + " successfully loaded");
}
}).addOnFailureListener(e -> {
//Toast.makeText(context, "Failed to Load image: " + currentItem.getmImageResource(),
//Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: addOnFailureListener: " + e.toString());
});
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "onBindViewHolder: " + e.toString());

//holder.modelImageView.setImageResource(currentItem.getmImageResource()); ==> setFile from storage here
holder.modelTextView.setText(currentItem.getmModelText());

Log.d(TAG, currentItem.getmImageResource() + "\n"
+ currentItem.getmModelText() + "\n"
+ currentItem.getmBrandText());
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return modelItemsArrayList.size();
}
And here is my CustomClass
package com.example.roadtrip;
public class ModelItem {
private String mImageResource;
private String mModelText;
private String mBrandText;
public ModelItem() {
}
public ModelItem(String mImageResource, String mModelText, String mBrandText) {
this.mImageResource = mImageResource;
this.mModelText = mModelText;
this.mBrandText = mBrandText;
}
public String getmImageResource() {
return mImageResource;
}
public void setmImageResource(String mImageResource) {
this.mImageResource = mImageResource;
}
public String getmModelText() {
return mModelText;
}
public void setmModelText(String mModelText) {
this.mModelText = mModelText;
}
public String getmBrandText() {
return mBrandText;
}
public void setmBrandText(String mBrandText) {
this.mBrandText = mBrandText;
}
}
I've been stuck for more than a week already. Can someone help me?
P.S. It's my first time posting here. I apologize for the Logs in the code, I was just trying to debug.

Getting Null Adapter Error : E/RecyclerView: No adapter attached; skipping layout

Trying to retrieve data and place it into RecyclerView. But i always end up getting a null adapter error. My List Adapter is not being recognized.
I have initialized adapter and recyclerview in OnCreate(), OnViewCreated() nothing changed except app-crash.
Can you guys shed any light please?
My List Adapter:

It seems like you never call the method setupPostsList(). You should move your code in Fragment from onCreateView() to onViewCreated() - that's the mehod where all views in fragment are created and you can use findViewById(). First find all view by ids and then call method setupPostsList() to set up the recycle view.

Recycler view not displaying data from firebase firestore

The issue is the recycler view is not displaying the data after the onchanged method is called. Or if it does, it takes a long time to display the information. heres the code:
public void onFilter(Filters filters) {
Query query = mFireStore.collection("Products");
// Category (equality filter)
if (filters.hasCategory()) {
query = query.whereEqualTo(Product.FIELD_CATEGORY, filters.getCategory());
}
// City (equality filter)
if (filters.hasCity()) {
query = query.whereEqualTo(Product.FIELD_CITY, filters.getCity());
}
// Price (equality filter)
if (filters.hasPrice()) {
query = query.whereEqualTo(Product.FIELD_PRICE, filters.getPrice());
}
// Sort by (orderBy with direction)
if (filters.hasSortBy()) {
query = query.orderBy(filters.getSortBy(), filters.getSortDirection());
}
// Limit items
query = query.limit(LIMIT);
Log.d("Query Info", query.toString());
FirestoreRecyclerOptions<Product> response = new FirestoreRecyclerOptions.Builder<Product>()
.setQuery(query,Product.class)
.build();
adapter = new FirestoreRecyclerAdapter<Product,ExploreViewholder>(response) {
#Override
public ExploreViewholder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
.inflate(R.layout.recycler_view_explore_item, parent, false);
return new ExploreViewholder(view);
}
#Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull ExploreViewholder holder, int position, #NonNull Product model) {
holder.productName.setText(model.getProductName());
holder.creatorName.setText(mUser.getDisplayName());
holder.productDesc.setText(model.getProductDescription());
// Glide.with(getContext())
// .load(model.getProductImageUrl())
// .into(holder.productImage);
}
#Override
public void onError(FirebaseFirestoreException e) {
Log.e("error", e.getMessage());
}
};
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
mRecycler.setAdapter(adapter);
}
This is where the method gets called, i get data from the viewmodel, no problem with that but the recycler view dosent display the data.
mViewModel.getMutableLiveData().observe(this, new Observer<Filters>() {
#Override
public void onChanged(#Nullable Filters filters) {
if (filters != null){
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getCategory() + " ");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getCity() + "");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getSortBy() + " ");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getPrice() + " ");
onFilter(filters);
Log.d("Done Loading Adapt", filters.getSortBy() + " ");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getCategory() + " ");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getCity() + "");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getSortBy() + " ");
Log.d("ExploreFragObserver", filters.getPrice() + " ");
// onFilter(Filters.getDefault());
}
}
});
A dialog fragment sets the data for the filters object in the viewmodel that both this fragment and the calling fragment both share.

I think you forgot to add adapter.startListening().

Updating recyclerview using findViewHolderForLayoutPosition

We are creating a chat application using openfire, smack. In that there is a chatscreen where users can send and receive messages and media files. For storing messages we are using Realm as local db. I want to show the progress of files during upload of files.
My Upload file code is :
public void firebasestorageMeth(final String msg, final String path, final String filetype, final String mykey, final String otheruserkey, final String username) {
StorageReference riversRef = STORAGE_REFERENCE.child(mykey).child("files").child(GetTimeStamp.timeStampDate());
final String timestampdate = GetTimeStamp.timeStampDate();
final String timestamptime = GetTimeStamp.timeStampTime();
final long id = GetTimeStamp.Id();
ChatMessageRealm cmr = new ChatMessageRealm(mykey + otheruserkey, otheruserkey, msg, mykey, timestamptime, timestampdate, filetype, String.valueOf(id), "0", "",path);
ChatHelper.addChatMesgRealmMedia1(cmr, this, mykey, otheruserkey);
sendBroadcast(new Intent().putExtra("reloadchatmediastatus", MEDIA_STARTING).putExtra("reloadchatmediaid", String.valueOf(id)).putExtra("reloadchatmedialocalurl", path).setAction("reloadchataction"));
Log.d(TAG, cmr.getChatref()+cmr.getMsgid()+cmr.getMsgstring()+"file path extension upload file" + path);
riversRef.putFile(Uri.fromFile(new File(path)))
.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
umpref.setUri(String.valueOf(id), path);
Uri downloadUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();
Log.d(TAG, "file uploaded" + downloadUrl);
ChatMessageRealm cmr = new ChatMessageRealm(mykey + otheruserkey, otheruserkey, msg, mykey, timestamptime, timestampdate, filetype, String.valueOf(id), "1", String.valueOf(downloadUrl),path);
ChatHelper.addChatMesgRealmMedia1(cmr, getApplicationContext(), mykey, otheruserkey);
sendBroadcast(new Intent().putExtra("reloadchatmediastatus", MEDIA_SUCCESS).putExtra("reloadchatmediaid", String.valueOf(id)).putExtra("reloadchatmediaurl", String.valueOf(downloadUrl)).putExtra("reloadchatmedialocalurl", path).setAction("reloadchataction"));
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "File Uploaded ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception exception) {
sendBroadcast(new Intent().putExtra("reloadchatmediastatus", MEDIA_FAILED).putExtra("reloadchatmediaid", String.valueOf(id)).putExtra("reloadchatmedialocalurl", path).setAction("reloadchataction"));
exception.printStackTrace();
}
})
.addOnProgressListener(new OnProgressListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onProgress(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
int progress = (int) ((100.0 * taskSnapshot.getBytesTransferred()) / taskSnapshot.getTotalByteCount());
sendBroadcast(new Intent().putExtra("reloadchatmediastatus", progress + " ").putExtra("reloadchatmediaid", String.valueOf(id)).putExtra("reloadchatmedialocalurl", path).setAction("reloadchataction"));
}
});
}

I am trying to update my recyclerview dynamically in the broadcast receiver- reloadData in ChatActivity.
My logs tell me that i am receiving correct data from the sendbroadcast in the UploadFileService, the problem is in following code inside the broadcast receiver on ChatActivity, it is getting correct data but the data is not showing on the recycler view:
try {
View v = recyclerView.findViewHolderForLayoutPosition(ind1).itemView;
ChatAdapter1.MyViewHolder holder = (ChatAdapter1.MyViewHolder) recyclerView.getChildViewHolder(v);
holder.commentString.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
holder.commentString.setText("file prog " + fileprogress);
mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Log.d(TAG, holder.getItemViewType() + "," + holder.getLayoutPosition() + "," + holder.commentString.getText().toString() + " VIEW HOLDER? " + v);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I get correct values , such as:
08-03 19:31:25.240 705-705/com.app.toado D/ChatActivity: 0,30,file prog 34 VIEW HOLDER? android.widget.LinearLayout{ff24ae0 V.E...... ......I. 0,621-660,1380 #7f1100f2 app:id/message_container}
08-03 19:31:26.346 705-705/com.app.toado D/ChatActivity: 0,30,file prog 100 VIEW HOLDER? android.widget.LinearLayout{e8a33ce V.E...... ......I. 0,621-660,1380 #7f1100f2 app:id/message_container}
08-03 19:31:26.347 705-705/com.app.toado D/ChatActivity: 0,30,file prog upload success VIEW HOLDER? android.widget.LinearLayout{e8a33ce V.E...... ......I. 0,621-660,1380 #7f1100f2 app:id/message_container}
I have tried using View ve = linearLayoutManager.findViewByPosition(ind1); and View v = recyclerView.findViewHolderForAdapterPosition(ind1).itemView; but they are also not working. Also tried adding notifydatasetchanged to it.
The try catch is also not throwing any error in the logs.
Can someone please help in figuring out why are the changes not showing on the recycler view but are showing in logs?

Are you sure you're updating the RecyclerView's Adapter from the UI Thread? Whenever you try to update the ViewHolder, you have to be certain you're doing so on the UI or it will not behave as expected.
When the modification to the ViewHolder is changed, check that Looper.myLooper().equals(Looper.getMainLooper());. If it returns false, it means you aren't updating on the UI Thread, the necessary place for all graphical updates to be made.
If this is the case, you just need to make sure that you can synchronize your changes on the UI, using Activity.runOnUiThread(Runnable r);.

I'm getting android run time exception for this java class:
I am not getting where the problem is occurring, I have tried almost all similar questions' answers but no help! Also, I have tried to run the code by commenting almost all the unrelated functions, but that didn't rule out the error too.

}
}
}
}
}
EDIT
OK, after debugging, I have discovered that the problem lies in these lines :
So, the problem is now narrowed down. Please help me find the rest of the error:
mFirebaseAdapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<FriendlyMessage,
MessageViewHolder>(
FriendlyMessage.class,
R.layout.item_message,
MessageViewHolder.class,
mFirebaseDatabaseReference.child(curFirebaseLocation)) {
#Override
protected void populateViewHolder(MessageViewHolder viewHolder,
FriendlyMessage friendlyMessage, int position) {
//...//
}
EDIT 2:
I noted an important aspect: While running the app without a data connection, the app still was showing the error "unfortunately Ed has stopped", this is not natural as earlier when my app was working(when my app was at one stage less than what it is today), it first used to load some data from the firebase database, then showed error. But this time, it shows the error even before it loads the data from the database, this leads to a conclusion that the error doesn't lie in the snapshot part of the problem, as if it would have had the case, the app wouldn't have shown the error in the offline state as until the data loads up, it should have been showing the progress dialog continuously.
EDIT 3 I found why am I getting the error:
This line :
mFirebaseAdapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter(
FriendlyMessage.class,
R.layout.item_message,
MessageViewHolder.class,
mFirebaseDatabaseReference.child(curFirebaseLocation)) {...
In this line, when I pass some other string instead of curFirebaseLocation, there is no error and my app loads up fine but when I pass the curFirebaseLocation variable, I get the error as seen in the LogCat above. Now, I only need to know why am I getting the error unable to convert java.lang.String to ...FriendlyMessage, even when the value of both curFirebaseLocation and the string that I pass(upon which I get no error) is exactly the same. I think it has soething to do with the FirebaseRecyclerAdapter. Please help!!
NOTE: I logged the output of the curFirebaseLocation and intentsMessage Strings and found out that they were perfectly fine. When I copied them and pasted them in the browser, they led me to the exactly expected location.
Please mention if any more clarification is needed.
Thanks in advance!

Firebase needs an empty constructor in class. Make sure you explicitly defined an empty constructor in your FriendlyMessage class.

There was a problem with the authentication and database synchronisation of Firebase, the user which was accessing the database was not registered in the auth section, also there were a few minor glitches, the code is working fine now and I'm getting the child nodes correctly.
