How about populating a recycler view with the links in firestore that point to images in firebase storage? I think this is what most people need :D Thanks for the video.

[aroojabbasi]

Thankyou so much sir. It was very helpful for my fyp

[akshitverma]

Nice Video!😊
Could you please tell me how to show Other files like PDF Documents in recycler view instead of images. I really want to know for my college project.😊

[xurshidbekbro]

thank you for sharing your good knowledge, I have a question, How are you writing xml item id on other classes without typing binding, I'm so shocked

[Alchemist]

Thanks, If it is possible consider making a KMM (Kotlin Multi Platform) series - just for android. I want to develop my kotlin based apps for IOS but I need a Kotlin pure backend.

00:56 does Picasso also cache images like glide ?
also. if user jump to another activity and returns back to this activity is there any way to show these images first before the user refreshes the recyclerview or before they are fetched themselves ? ( to avoid that delay in case of a poor network )

Hi Philipp, Great video as usual. I have one problem. I have used your code but also used viewBinding. I have two errors in the imageAdapter.kt. Firstly in onCreateViewHolder, item_image is an Unresolved reference. Secondly in onBindViewHolder the ivImage is showing an error. I would normally put binding.ivImage but I am not sure how to use viewBinding with a class.

Instead of imageviewer can we use pdf viewer

[ulrichvanderwath]

Is it possible for you to show me how to display the pictures in the recycler view when im trying to upload them alongside other views. I have managed to successfully upload the pictures into the firebase but for some reason cant seem to figure out how to pull those pictures and display them in a report in recycler view

[nicholasedoseghe]

Hi, please I'm getting - getdownloadurl() is not supported at the root of the bucket

[corenko]

Hi Philipp, thanks always for your superb videos. I just wanted to ask a quick question regarding using Coroutines in your videos (this and Spotify clone app, etc.).
I see that you are using Coroutine in the functions loading a DB from Firestore. I do believe that's a safe and an appropriate method. Now, for some other peoples' videos using Firebase/Firestore in Android Studio that I've watched, none of them uses Coroutine or Async (Yet they seem to work without much problem in their videos). If possible, can you tell us what can possibly go wrong if we don't use Coroutines and your general thoughts on this subject? Below is the list of Firebase vids I've watched (not using Corouinte/Async)

Can we make the same for uploading pdf and downloading pdf and show the downloads on the other activity.

[onlx]
