Hi Sowmiya, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support, 
 
We have checked your query. You can achieve your requirement by setting “LoadUIView” to true to the GridColumn. 
 
By default the “LoadUIView” for the grid columns are false which will draw the cell contents instead of loading labels for performance improvements. If the “LoadUIView” is set as true, the SfDataGrid will load a label inside the cells instead of drawing the contents in Android. 
 
We have prepared a sample based on your requirement and you can download the same from the below link.

Shivagurunathan. K
