title: Creating Connect4 in Android
body: <p>I'm trying to create an Android app to play Connect 4 (Four In A Row, etc). As I'm new to Android dev I created a basic Java application to cope with the logic, which plays connect4 using a 2D array and just uses <em>println</em> to print the array to the console which shows the board. </p>
  
  <p>My question is in my game activity what would be the best way to create a 'board' and have it so I can update it to show the position of counters throughout the game; should I create a canvas object, butcher a table layout, or do something else entirely. </p>
  
  <p>Apologies if this is a silly question; I have very limited Android experience.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks.</p>
