title: I have a problem with retrieving data from firebase realtime database
body: <p>so basically when i retrieve a link from my real time database it adds this &quot;{abs=&quot; at the beginning and this &quot;}&quot; at the end which makes picasso unable to load the link.
  i tried loading the link by pasting the link directly into picasso and it worked just fine
  Here is a copy of my code :</p>
  <pre><code>public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
  private Button button;
  private TextView tv0, tv1;
  private String string;
  private ImageView imageView;
  
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      tv0 = findViewById(R.id.textView);
      imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
      tv1 = findViewById(R.id.textView2);
      button = findViewById(R.id.button);
      button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View view) {
              DatabaseReference reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child(&quot;muscles&quot;);
              reference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
                  @Override
                  public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
                      for (DataSnapshot dataSnapshot : snapshot.getChildren()) {
                          string = snapshot.getValue().toString();
                      }
                      tv1.setText(string);
                      tv0.setText(&quot;{abs=https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/my-application-5272b.appspot.com/o/ts-space-sun-and-solar-viewing-facts-versus-fiction.webp?alt=media&amp;token=264af080-27a5-4177-ade3-6eaf30125383}&quot;);
                      Picasso.get().load(&quot;https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/my-application-5272b.appspot.com/o/ts-space-sun-and-solar-viewing-facts-versus-fiction.webp?alt=media&amp;token=264af080-27a5-4177-ade3-6eaf30125383&quot;).into(imageView);
                  }
  
                  @Override
                  public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError error) {
                  }
              });
  
          }
      });
  }
  </code></pre>
