Fixed Header Table Layout for Android

FixedHeaderTableLayout is a powerful Android library for displaying complex data structures and rendering tabular data composed of rows, columns and cells with multi direction scrolling and zooming.

This repository also contains a sample app that is designed to show you how to create your own FixedHeaderTableLayout in your application.

FixedHeaderTableLayout is similar in construction and use as to Android's TableLayout

Note

This Library is current in development and is considered in an Alpha state

Features

1 to X number of rows can be fixed as column headers at the top of the table.
1 to X number of rows can be fixed as row headers at the left of the table.
Multi direction scrolling is available if the table is larger than the screen.
Pinch Zoom is available.
Standard scrollbars are available.
Clicks are passed to children views.
Each column width value will be automatically adjusted to fit the largest cell in the column.
Each row height value will be automatically adjusted to fit the largest cell in the row.
Support for API 16 upwards

Bonus Feature

The FixedHeaderSubTableLayout behaves like a normal TableLayout But it gives you direct access to the cell sizes.

Thus it is possible to align cells between independent tables allowing you to build more complicated tables with borders easier, easily split tables across print pages, viewpager, etc by using modular groups of aligned tables next to each other. It also allows a form of column spanning, a column in one table can be made to be the size of multiple columns in the adjacent table, so it looks like column spanning.

Some examples in the MultiTableExample in the Example App.

Feature TODO list

Scale around pinch center.
Corner layout location and layout direction to support Right to Left Languages.
Some type of column span (Nested Tables) support.
Making the fixed headers optional (at least one of each is required at the moment).
Documentation.
Automated Tests.
Probably lots more.

Limitations

As per Android's TableLayout constructing/drawing very large tables takes some time.

What's new

You can check new implementations of TableView on the release page.
