In my project I let people log their dive sessions and then upload them to firebase storage. When they have done that, other users or themselves can access them by an id. I store the logged dives as textdocuments on firebase. The problem is that I can't find a way to get the file contents.

This is all I got:

val ref = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference().child("dives/" + "436 204")

Note: This is just an example id

To get the `436 204` image, first you need to get it's downloar url. Please check the duplicate to see how you can solve this. – Alex Mamo May 09 '19 at 18:22
I don't want to get the image. I want to get the text. 436 204 is a textdocument. – David Wenzel May 09 '19 at 18:23
In the same you get the image, you can get any other file. The url of the file is needed. – Alex Mamo May 09 '19 at 18:37
How do I need it? – David Wenzel May 09 '19 at 18:39
Why or how? You need it to get the content of your file. – Alex Mamo May 09 '19 at 18:40
