  {@link android.widget.TableLayout} positions its children into rows and

  columns. TableLayout containers do not display border lines for their rows,

  columns, or cells. The table will have as many columns as the row with the

  most cells. A table can leave cells empty. Cells can span multiple columns,

  as they can in HTML. You can span columns by using the <code>span</code>

  field in the {@link android.widget.TableRow.LayoutParams} class.
