I would suggest drawing these white and black keys on your own. Use the View class, override draw() method and go for it. Of course you can try to use RelativeLayout, but later you'll have more problems with that (like multiple touches and slides detection).

class Piano extends View {
    public Piano(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    Bitmap whiteKey, blackKey;
    Paint paint = new Paint();

    public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
        if (whiteKey == null) {
            whiteKey = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.whiteKey);
        }
        if (blackKey == null) {
            blackKey = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.blackKey);
        }

        int keys = 10;

        // draw white keys
        for (int i = 0; i < keys; i++) {
            canvas.drawBitmap(whiteKey, i * whiteKey.getWidth(), 0, paint);
        }
        // draw black keys
        for (int i = 0; i < keys; i++) {
            if (i != 3 && i != 7) {
                canvas.drawBitmap(blackKey, i * blackKey.getWidth()+blackKey.getWidth()*0.5f, 0, paint);
            }
        }
    }
};
