In picture 2 is the same layout but with 6 items.

You can uses ScrollView.
if you use GridView now, ScrollView is contain GridView.
Or You use over scroll mode if ifContentScrolls mode.

what about tableview? – andrescabana86 Mar 07 '14 at 08:51
you mean TableLayout? Almost layout's parent is ViewGroup. So you should it. I try this, it is success. – Amadas Mar 07 '14 at 09:01

You can do this using layout_weight attribute in LinearLayout as below...

<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:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="#000000"
            android:text="Menu 1" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="#FFFFFF"
            android:text="Menu 2" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="#FFFFFF"
            android:text="Menu 1" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="#000000"
            android:text="Menu 2" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="#000000"
            android:text="Menu 3" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

You can do it simply: refer to the LinearLayout by id, and add children programatically. If you want its children to have the same height, set their height to 0px and their weight to the same, 1 for instance. Since its children will be Linearlayouts as well, you can add the items manu1, menu2, etc to them without problem. I don't know you exact usage, but it's a start.
