How to get value of some field in firebase firestore android?
The Cloud Firestore client-side SDKs always read and returns full documents. There is no way to read a subset of the fields in a document.
You can retrieve the entire document, and then process the DocumentSnapshot
to just use the fields you're interested. But this means you're using more bandwidth than needed. If this is a regular occurrence for your app, consider creating a secondary collection where each document contains just the fields you're interested in.

Firestore can read single field value. Firebase guides looks like didn't show these simple method.
For example:
[android]
String value = document.getString("col_1");
[node.js]
const value = doc.data().col_1
