How to order elements like this?

Question

I'm trying to put inside a LinearLayout Horizontal some buttons, but I have the next result.

enter image description here

When they get to the right of the screen, they are not sorted under, they go on. I want that if the screen is small, they are ordered as follows.

enter image description here

Without cut any button.

Thank you. If you need my XML, tell me.

Try setting the LinearLayout width as match parent

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Hope it helps :)

Update:

Use GridView and set num_coulums to auto_fit and keep adding buttons as you desire, set width & height as per your requirements

<GridView
    android:id="@+id/gridView1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:columnWidth="100dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:numColumns="auto_fit"
    android:stretchMode="columnWidth" >
</GridView>

You can create a custom layout as mentioned [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14528381/android-horizontal-linearlayout-wrap-elements) or use a `GridView` – DroidUser Mar 28 '14 at 10:50
I'm trying to do with a TableLayout. – Víctor Martín Mar 28 '14 at 10:53
I don't think TableLayout is the way to go if you have unknown items for each row. GridView would be more apt here. – DroidUser Mar 28 '14 at 10:57
I think that your solution is the best, only one think, it need an API over 14. – Víctor Martín Mar 28 '14 at 19:36
Are you sure? According to [Android Documentation](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridView.html) GridView was added in API level 1. – DroidUser Mar 29 '14 at 09:36
This is what Android Studio said me yesterday. I clicked on Resolve this, and It change my sdk api level. – Víctor Martín Mar 29 '14 at 12:37
