// Have you ever used GridLayout this, Try this one:

File -> Import -> \extras\android\support\v7\gridlayout>

// Add this project as library project

// xml file - activity_main.xml

// Java code

MainActivity.class

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    private GridLayout gridLayout;
    private TextView[] textViews;
    private int noOfItems;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        gridLayout = (GridLayout) findViewById(R.id.gridLayout);
        gridLayout.setOrientation(1);
        gridLayout.setColumnCount(3);
        gridLayout.setRowCount(3);

        textViews = new TextView[8];

        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
            textViews[i] = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
            textViews[i].setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
            textViews[i].setText(String.valueOf(i));
            textViews[i].setTextSize(25);
            textViews[i].setPadding(50, 25, 10, 25);
            gridLayout.addView(textViews[i]);
        }

        setContentView(gridLayout);

        for (noOfItems = 0; noOfItems < 8; noOfItems++) {
            textViews[noOfItems].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                int pos = noOfItems;

                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), pos + " Clicked",
                            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            });
        }
    }

}

// If you want to display horizontally than do this gridLayout.setOrientation(0);
