Failed to find any ModelLoaders registered for model class: class com.google.firebase.storage.StorageReference

Question

I've gone through all the previously asked questions on this topic. But the solutions mentioned aren't working out for me.

As prescribed in the Glide readme, I've registered a model loader for my app, it resides in the app->src->java directory: MyAppGlideModule.java:

package com.kenadams.app;

import android.content.Context;
import com.bumptech.glide.Glide;
import com.bumptech.glide.Registry;
import com.bumptech.glide.annotation.GlideModule;
import com.bumptech.glide.module.AppGlideModule;
import com.firebase.ui.storage.images.FirebaseImageLoader;
import com.google.firebase.storage.StorageReference;

import java.io.InputStream;

@GlideModule
public class MyAppGlideModule extends AppGlideModule {

    @Override
    public void registerComponents(Context context, Glide glide, Registry registry) {
        // Register FirebaseImageLoader to handle StorageReference
        registry.append(StorageReference.class, InputStream.class,
                new FirebaseImageLoader.Factory());
    }

}

This is how I'm calling the Glide module in my adapter class: adapter.java

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(topicAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
  //Setting text      
holder.textView.setText(HtmlCompat.fromHtml(this.data.get(position),HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
//Setting image
        Glide.with(holder.iv.getContext()).load(sr.child("/1.png")).into(holder.iv);


    }

There are no syntax errors and the app is compiling successfully, yet I keep getting this runtime error:

Some answers have previously mentioned to use GlideApp instead of Glide.However, this doesn't work for me. I keep getting the syntax error: Cannot resolve symbol 'GlideApp'

Further when I try to build the module , the build keeps failing due android-exported:true not being in the intent filter. This doesn't make sense as MyAppGlideModule extends AppGlideModule and not AppCompatActivity. So, even if I wanted to add an intent filter with android-exported:true I'd be unable to do so.

Answer 1

What dependencies are you using?

Make sure you have this is added for Kotlin:

    kapt 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.14.2'

or this for Java:

annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.14.2'

Your finished Glide code should look something like this:

Glide.with(this).load(FirebaseStorageUtil.pathToReference(user.profilePicturePath))
                    .placeholder(R.drawable.ic_baseline_account_circle_24)
                    .into(binding.profilePictureImageView)
