i'm creating a board game and i have a problem with the layout. the layout is built like that: table of 5x5 squares that placed in the center 3 image views placed in the bottom of the layout.

but,I WANT THE LAYOUT BUILT LIKE THAT: table of 5x5 squares that placed in the center 3 image views placed in the bottom of the last tablerow(i cant write below="@idblalbaLASROW" because it's inside the tablelayout...) some text views up to the first table row.

I THINK THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT the tablelayout is taking all the layout space instead of taking his actual size(width = wrap content, high= sum of the childs hight// width) code sample:
1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2 <RelativeLayout xmlns:tools="....."
3 xmlns:android="....."
4 android:id="@+id/llMain"
5 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
6 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
7 android:background="@drawable/background"
8 android:orientation="vertical"
9 tools:context=".MainActivity" >
10
11<TableLayout
12 android:id="@+id/tableBoard"
13 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
14 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
15 android:gravity="center" >
16
17 (5 times) <TableRow
18 android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
19 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
20 android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
21
22 <com.example.com.worfield.barak.Square
23 android:id="@+id/view1"
24 android:layout_width="0dp"
25 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
26 android:layout_margin="1dp"

I actually don't understand your question very well, but I think that your problem is that you're not using layout_weight.
If you don't want the TableLayout to use all the space, set it with layout_height="0dp" and layout_weight="1".
