TextFormField's initial value is only used to initialize its TextController. The TextFormField's value is maintained by the TextEditingController.

  final controller = TextEditingController();

  void _fetchUserData() async {
    // do something
    setState(() {
      controller.text = "your text";
    });
  }

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return TextFormField(
      controller: controller,
    );
  }

  void dispose() {
    myController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

Try this approach

Scaffold(
      body: StreamBuilder<QuerySnapshot>(
        stream: Firestore.instance.collection('news').snapshots(),
        builder: (BuildContext context,
            AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> snapshot) {
          if (snapshot.hasError)
            return new Text('Error: ${snapshot.error}');
          switch (snapshot.connectionState) {
            case ConnectionState.waiting:
              return new Center(
                child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
              );
            default:
              return Text(snapshot.data.documents[0]['title']);
          }
        },
      ),
    )

使用await等待数据被获取：

await Firestore.instance.collection('UserData').document('$authid').get().then((ds){
