android - How to get download url for firebase storage and update firestore document?

Question

I have been struggling to get download url for an image uploaded to firebase storage from my app. I want to send this url to firestore databse (not realtime database). I am setting itemImageUri to uri.toString() but in onCreate() method itemImageUrl is null and shows null in firestore. I cannot use CollectionRefernece addItemRef in onSuccess method as it gives error for all string variables: Variable is accessed from within inner class needs to be declared final.

public class AddItemActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    public class AddItemActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    public static final int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;
    public static final String TAG = "Error!";
    public static final String UPLOAD_TAG = "Image uploaded";
    private Uri imageUri = null;
    private TextInputEditText textFieldTitle;
    private TextInputEditText textFieldDesc;
    private AutoCompleteTextView dropdownItemType;
    private TextInputEditText textFieldAddress;
    private TextInputEditText textFieldAvailability;
    private MaterialButton buttonSubmitItem;
    private MaterialButton buttonAddImage;
    private ImageView imageViewItem;
    private String itemImageUrl;
    private Bitmap bitmap;
    private Uri itemImageUri;

        dropdownItemType = findViewById(R.id.dropdown_itemType);
        //Select type dropdown
        String[] itemTypes = new String[] {
                "Food",
                "Clothing",
                "Footwear"
        };
        ArrayAdapter<String> itemsDropdownAdpater = new ArrayAdapter<>(AddItemActivity.this, R.layout.dropdown_item_type, itemTypes);
        dropdownItemType.setAdapter(itemsDropdownAdpater);

        textFieldAddress = findViewById(R.id.textField_address);
