One way to work with mobile reports is to leave everything to the server. This is a good practice for everything in the mobile world.
Whenever you need something that requires processing, send it to your server and get the feedback ready.
For reports, you can create a webservice. For example:
Monta_Report (start_date, end_date)
You call this webservice from your app ... it mounts the report, saves it to PDF and returns you a URL (eg yoursystem.com/report?id=2121212) to open on mobile.
/ p>Another benefit of working like this is that you do not depend on the platform the user is using (Android or iOS) ... it always works!
I hope I have helped.
I suggest FastReport because a basic version already comes with Delphi and the full (paid) versions are spectacular. #
