Answer 1

This seems correct. But you probably have to play with the android:layout_width and android:layout_height parameters.

Maybe you should show us your whole layout ?

Answer 2

I put this together really fast, try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="100dip" android:background="#cc0000"  />
        <TableLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <TableRow>
                <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#aaaa00" />
                <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#00aa00" />
                <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#aaaa00" />
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow>
                <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#00aa00" />
                <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#aaaa00" />
                <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="50dip" android:background="#00aa00" />
            </TableRow>
       </TableLayout>
    <ImageView android:layout_width="50dip" android:layout_height="100dip" android:background="#cc0000"  />
</LinearLayout>
