xamarin how to show multiple column grid which support both andriod and iOS

Question

I want to create a list view with four column, first two column will have text and next two column will have clickable button(image). Number of rows is not fixed- so data binding is require. Should support android and iOS. please suggest which xamarin control will be best suited for me.

Can i use data template as shown in https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/application-fundamentals/templates/data-templates/selector/

or should use Grid, Grid layout or any other.

<ListView x:Name="listViewExpenses" CachingStrategy="RecycleElement" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" RowHeight="40">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <ViewCell>
            <Grid >
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <!--<Label x:Name="idLabel" Text="{Binding Id}"/>-->
                <Label x:Name="textLabel1" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Text}"/>
                <!--<Button x:Name="btnEdit" Image="icon.png" HeightRequest="50" WidthRequest="50"  Grid.Column="2" CommandParameter="{Binding Id}"  Clicked="OnEditClicked" />-->
                <StackLayout Grid.Column="1">

                        <Image.GestureRecognizers>
                            <TapGestureRecognizer
    Tapped="OnEditTapped"

I assume you mean "iOS", not "ISO", which is the International Standards Organization. — Jason
if you want a databound grid control, you'll need to use a 3rd party control. There are several free and commercial ones available — Jason

As the number of rows is not fixed but each row will look the same, I would suggest a List View with an inline data template.
