What is best approach to display tabular text data?
Suppose I have a record containing small thumbnail pic, text1, text2, text3.
(If adding the pic/icon is too difficult, I'm okay with just strings)
I'd like to create an app which can scroll up or down the records, say like a rudimentary table.
It's isn't a video channel, just information to browse. Max. number of records say is small and static. Later I can deal with fetching chunks at a time.
Looking advice from the seasons developers here on best approach for me to study.
My roku development learning is still in progress, primarily tweaking examples.

There's no built in screen type for that kind of thing. You would have to draw it from scratch using roImageCanvas or the newer 2D graphic APIs introduced in firmware 3.0.

You might also do it with roparagraphscreen, useful for displaying simple text, with previous and next buttons.
