ModernListView looks different on Windows and Android platform

I need your help.

Can someone explain to me why the appearance of ListView (I use ModernListView -> https://github.com/rzaripov1990/ModernListView) is different on Windows platform and Android platform. I am using Custom Style, StyleBook which is modified for Platform Default. I use Delphi 10.4 CE, Update 2.

On Windows platform both Accessory (Type=More) and GlyphButton (ButtonType=Checkbox) in EditMode are visible. On the Android platform, however, neither the Accessory (Type=More) nor GlyphButton (ButtonType=Checkbox) in EditMode is visible.

The source code of example can be found on github -> https://github.com/sax15/ListViewExample

Thanks for your help.

  • i didn't use Firemonkey in the past 2 years now(maybe even longer...), but from what i remember the controls will always look different between Windows and mobile. sometimes also the behavior is different. i think even when you set the controls to look native.

    Edit - Here are some useful link about styles and different devices :
