How to display a table in Android with Delphi 10.3?

  • 772

I have Delphi 10.3 and I want to develop for Android, the thing is that I want to fill a grid (like the DBGrid of desktop applications). With which component could I do it? I tried a TGrid but it doesn't have a Datasource or anything. Thank you

    Grids in FMX (cross-platform) work with livebindings, not the TDataset/ system TDatasourcewe're used to in VCL.
    Check out this docwiki link .

    In the Embarcadero repository, you also have examples of how LiveBindings are used.

    In any case, I recommend you review the component TListView, which is more appropriate for displaying data on mobile phones and specially designed for them. Those TDBGids/TGridsof the VCL are not usually used on mobile devices.

  2. You can try with TStringGridit, it is much more advanced than in it VCL, almost like DBGridit and if you handle it through custom code making your own clases, metodosand helperswithout using it livebinding, the performance of the list is 10 times lighter, handling thousands of records without problems .
