title: Which grid-like layout in Android for Remote Control interface?
body: <p>I want to draw a TV remote interface on an Android Activity screen. But I don't succeed in getting the buttons to the right places. Because I'm using a grid internally to init the buttons (programmatically by the way) I thought using a GridLayout and placing the buttons as subviews should be the best way. (I was trying it with TableLayout before, but I couldn't find out how to init a button that has a height going over two or more TableRows.)</p>
  
  <p>But the GridLayout class automatically resets all buttons when I change the size of one button, as a result my view looks pretty bad. Is there a way to set the exact places where my buttons should be using a GridLayout? Or would you recommend another type of Layout?</p>
  
  <p>This is what I expect the whole thing to look like at the end (except the "Endgeräte auswählen" button):</p>
