StorageException occuring when trying to get image from firebase database into storage

Question

I am trying to store an image into FireBase database, I am pretty sure all of the code is working fine in relation to getting the imagelink as it no longer shows an error for it like before. Now however, a new problem occurs when I upload an image. Something to do with a storage exception and I am guessing it is having a problem to actually withdraw the imagelink from the storage and insert it into the database. Here is my code where I think the problem occurs:

private StorageReference PostsImagesReference;
private DatabaseReference PostsRef;
private FirebaseAuth mAuth;

private String Description;
private String saveCurrentDate;
private String saveCurrentTime;
private String postRandomName;
private String currentUserID;
//private String downloadUrl;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_post);

    mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    currentUserID = mAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();

    PostsImagesReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();

    PostsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Posts");

Here is my entire code if need be:

 private Toolbar mToolbar;
private ProgressDialog loadingBar;

private ImageButton SelectPostImage;
private Button AddPostButton;
private EditText PostDescription;

private static final int Gallery_Pick = 1;
private Uri ImageUri;


private StorageReference PostsImagesReference;
private DatabaseReference PostsRef;
private FirebaseAuth mAuth;

private String Description;
private String saveCurrentDate;
private String saveCurrentTime;
private String postRandomName;
private String currentUserID;
//private String downloadUrl;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_post);

    mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    currentUserID = mAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();

    PostsImagesReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();

    PostsRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Posts");

    SelectPostImage = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.select_post_image);
    AddPostButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.add_post);
    PostDescription = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.post_description);
    loadingBar = new ProgressDialog(this);


    mToolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.update_post_page_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(mToolbar);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Update Post");


    SelectPostImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            OpenGallery();

        }
    });

    AddPostButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {

    });

}

        loadingBar.setMessage("Please Wait");

Your problem description is not very specific. Couple please quote the exact error message? — Klaus Gütter

You're trying to get the download URL of the `` folder, which isn't possible:

PostsImagesReference.child("Post Images").getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(...

You need to call getDownloadUrl() on the StorageReference that you called putFile on:

filePath.getDownloadUrl().addOnSuccessListener(...
