08/06/2020, 12:46 AMHey everyone I'm working on a kotlin, firebase android chat app. Anyone have any tips on adding attachment functionality like posting an image to a chat conversation and having it displayed to both parties? I already have real time messaging working, I can't figure out file attachment sharing at all and I've looked online for guides but to no avail. If anyone can point me a good direction thank you! If not then that's fine thanks for reading this!
