How to get the id when call add in one step in Firestore?

I know to get id:

String cityId = db.collection("cities").document().getId();
db.collection("cities").document(cityId).set(city);

But is more easy:

db.collection("cities").add(city);

But how to get id? It not work .add(city).getId(). No information in docs.

How to get the id when call add in one step in Firestore?

There is no way in which you can get the document id in a single step, as you do when using a document() call. To solve this, you should add a complete listener. Try this:

db.collection("cities").add(city).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<DocumentReference>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<DocumentReference> task) {
        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
            DocumentReference document = task.getResult();
            if (document != null) {
                String id = document.getId(); //Do what you need to do with the document id
                Log.d(TAG, id);
            }
        }
    }
});
