Answer 1

I put this together really fast, try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="100dip" android:background="#cc0000"/>
    <TableLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <TableRow>
            <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#aaaa00"/>
            <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#00aa00"/>
            <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#aaaa00"/>
        </TableRow>
        <TableRow>
            <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#00aa00"/>
            <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#aaaa00"/>
            <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#00aa00"/>
        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>
    <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="100dip" android:background="#cc0000"/>
</LinearLayout>
