How do I have images in my firebase rtdb to my listview

[I_need_to_complete]

How do I do that? I tried using firebase storage but it told me to upgrade the plan. Any other alternatives? I tried converting to base64 as well, but idk how to convert it back to image synchronously with item name etc

[TIMAI2]

Upgrade the plan. Unless you go viral, there is enough free space and usage for testing.

I tried and it asked for credit card (I still have none). Any other alternatives? is it possible for me to convert base64 to image and vice versa synchronously?

@I_need_to_complete

is it possible for me to convert base64 to image and vice versa

Yes, there are several base64 extensions available for this:

wow thank you!

What should I do with the filePath?

[TIMAI2]

The easiest location is in the ASD.

You will need to provide an absolute path to the extension block - e.g.

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<packageName>/files/filename.jpg
(you can build this path using the File component)

You might be returning the image filename with your firebase data ?

You should look at using that path for the next time the image is required, instead of having to convert it each time.

thanks, I decided to use the firebase storage extension (com.mirxtremapps.FirebaseStorageNov18.aix). How do I have different projectbucket in the storage?

[TIMAI2]

What about your paid plan?

[I_need_to_complete]

If you want to use an extension for Firebase Storage, i might suggest you use this one:

[FREE] FSA: Combined features of Firebase Storage and Authentication

Firebase with Web Component

The big one: now updated with a section on Anonymous SignIn (Sep 2024) now updated with dataChanged methods (Oct 2025)

Regarding images, where are they coming from in the first place, camera? These will be very big. Bear in mind that the listview will be displaying images, by default at @ 75x75 pixels, do your images need resizing?

(You will want ImageConvertorV3.9.aix for all features)

The listview can start to "stutter" with long lists loaded from urls, you might then want to consider using a recyclerlist extension to build your listview:

Actually upload your image to firebase storage or some other online resource, return the direct url, and store that in the firebase rtdb
