A grid layout of icon/text buttons

Your best bet in my opinion would be to use the gridView that way it supports scrolling and spacing and you can be very dynamic in what each items layout and events are. Another option is to just create a lay out the images with a combination of Relative/Linear Layouts.

GridView layout:

<GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
android:id="@+id/myGrid"
android:layout_width="match_parent" 
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:verticalSpacing="10dp"

android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
android:numColumns="3"
android:columnWidth="60dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"

android:gravity="center"
/>

and then in your activity:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mGame.status = GameStatus.PLAYING;

    setContentView(R.layout.gridLayout);
    GridView grid = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.myGrid);
    grid.setAdapter(new customAdapter());

    grid.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                long arg3) {
            //do some stuff here on click
        }
    });
}

public class customAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
//create a basic imageview here or inflate a complex layout with
//getLayoutInflator().inflate(R.layout...)
        ImageView i = new ImageView(this);

        i.setImageResource(mFams.get(position).imageId);
        i.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
        final int w = (int) (36 * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density + 0.5f);
        i.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(w * 2, w * 2));
        return i;
    }

    public final int getCount() {
        return 9;
    }

    public final Family getItem(int position) {
        return mFams.get(position);
    }

    public final long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }
}

Or the basic layout using linear layouts:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout1" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageView>...</ImageView>
    <ImageView>...</ImageView>
    <ImageView>...</ImageView>

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout2" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageView>...</ImageView>
    <ImageView>...</ImageView>
    <ImageView>...</ImageView>

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout3" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent""
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">

    <ImageView>...</ImageView>
    <ImageView>...</ImageView>
    <ImageView>...</ImageView>

</LinearLayout>
