Thanks, Monte. Data grids look right. To learn about data grids, I tested on my Android device a sample stack from LiveCode Lessons. Problem is the data grid's text shows but not its referenced images. The image path is "images/monkey.jpg". So in "Standalone settings > Copy file" I selected both the folder and the image itself, with "Copy Referenced Files" both checked and unchecked.
So, on Android, how do I reference an image that is part of a data grid?
