It all makes sense now...
Just spent 6-8 hours or so trying to get image uploading to work with sending messages with firebase. Finally completed it.
Disclaimer: this might not make the most sense as I am completely drained mentally.
The issue was that I wasn't calling the send message method inside the upload image method. Meaning the images would upload but before I would be able to get the Uri back from firebase to put in the hashmap for the messages, the message hashmap would already be sent.
It was a pain in the ass to do. But 5 windows and 40 tabs later, then some doc reading. Then a quick break to eat. And some more stressing about my code. I finally realized that I should have just called the send message inside the incomplete listener in the image upload.
TLDR;
"uploadImage(), sendMessage()"= no Uri; :(
"UploadImage() { sendMessage() } = Uri" :)
PS: Yes, this is me talking to myself on my other account
