I'm having the same problem on my end. It tells me nothing more than
"Cannot resolve method using(com.ui.firebase.storage.images.FirebaseImageLoader)".
Everything else seems to be working fine.

• FirebaseUI version: 1.2.0
• Glide version: 4.0.0-RC1

FirebaseUI will have to update to Glide 4 as well. I'll post an answer to SO for a workaround if it's possible.

Firebase was updated here: https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android/issues/731

According to this http://bumptech.github.io/glide/doc/migrating.html#using, using() was removed from Glide 4, so it cannot be used in firebase, is that right?

@PeterHdd Even if using was available, the interface would've changed. You can still achieve the same functionality with Glide modules. Note that even in 3.x the preferred way would've been to use a pre-registered loader to handle Firebase types.
Note: a loader is a simple glue between the two libraries (Glide and external), they're usually very simple so you can always write your own.

Thank you so much for answering, this is the first time I comment on github. Yes, I was answering this question on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48762263/using-firebase-storage-image-with-glide. It is why I asked. Thank you!
