I am trying to upload a image to firebase storage but large images are making my app lag/slow so I want to scale down images or are there any other alternatives

research on image compression. You can compress bitmaps to JPEG or PNG etc. By the way, make sure you upload in a separate thread (use Async task) because you do not want to block your UI thread while uploading

@SURAJ BISHT, did my answer help? I think that compressing the bitmap to a JPEG should solve the issue of making the image smaller so that the app does not lag.

Here is a function that you can use to do it. You need to pass in the bitmap of your image into the function:
private void doUpload(Bitmap bitmap) {
//Change this to your picture name.
String s = "MyPicture.jpg";
StorageReference storageReference2 = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference(s);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
//Compress the original bitmap down into a JPEG.
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
byte data2 = baos.toByteArray();
//Get an array of the bytes and upload it to Firebase Storage.
UploadTask uploadTask = storageReference2.putBytes(data2);
uploadTask.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception exception) {
makeToast("Exception " + exception.getMessage());
}
}).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<UploadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
makeToast("Picture uploaded.");
}
});
}
This should upload the picture to Firebase Storage. It compresses the image to a JPEG. You can change the name of the picture by changing the value of the String s above. Hope this helps.
