Hi Ali,     

     

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.    

   

You can achieve your requirement by using GridTemplateColumn. Please refer the below UG and code snippet for more details:   

   

<sfgrid:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="EmployeeID" MappingName="EmployeeID">   

    <sfgrid:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>   

        <DataTemplate>   

            <Button Text="{Binding EmployeeID}" Clicked="Button_Clicked">   

            </Button>   

        </DataTemplate>   

    </sfgrid:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>   

</sfgrid:GridTemplateColumn>   

   

   

private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)   

{   

    // do your actions here for button click    

}

GridTemplateColumn doesn't appear available in Xamarin.Android without Xamarin.Forms.

Hi Jim, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

You can load your own custom view in Xamarin.Android using GridColumn.UserCellType property. This has been inherits all the properties of GridColumn. We have prepared the sample by loading Button using UserCellType and is available for download under the following link.
