When you need to create a table in your UI, Android provides two convenient layout options: TableLayout (along with TableRow) and GridLayout (added in API 14). Both layout options can create similar-looking tables, but each using a different approach. With TableLayout, rows and columns are added dynamically as you build the table. With GridLayout, row and column sizes are defined in the layout definition.
Neither layout is better, it's just a matter of using the best layout for your needs. We'll create a 3 x 3 grid using each layout to give a comparison, as you could easily find yourself using both layouts, even within the same application.
