Hi there!

Found a Data tables on material.io and I wonder, when you will release it? Saw that 1 year ago it was unimportant, but it's a great thing on Android, especially if it will be with diagonal scroll and fix headers feature, like Google Sheets android app is working. It will help for a number of statistic apps (Like apps for CRMs and so on). Yes, there are a lot of ready solutions on github, but most of them have serious issues or not customizable enough.

Hi @achatina Thanks for reaching out and for giving context on your needs for Data Tables.

We will use this information to consider adding Data Tables to the Material Components Android library. However at this time, this component is not yet scheduled for development.

Hi there! Have tried to implement such stuff with multiple RV's, but it has a lot of problems. I know, it is not in development yet, but can you give a piece of advice how this could be implemented. I have take a look on a Google Sheets app and was very surprised how smooth it works event on the low-end devices.

I would be grateful if you can help to understand how it can be implemented without RV's with reusing views.

+1 I would also like like to see this feature implemented for Android. My use case is for showing nutrition information for a list of foods. Currently I am using a TableLayout, however it does not provide useful Data Table features such as sorting columns or marking columns as numeric/non-numeric. Thank you for you work on all the Material Components.

Totally hear you. I am looking at possible implementations for the future.

@andrelabonte Any new plans on development of this component?

Right now the only fully featured data table view is implemented in this third party library.
