Not exactly sure what you are wanting, but here is how you can get "rows" of Buttons in one TableRow. Do something similar to this and see if that is what you are talking about.

I added a LinearLayout to the TableRow that is vertical orientation and then wrapper the Buttons in another LinearLayout that is horizontal orientation.

<TableRow>

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/layout3"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/layout1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal" >

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button1"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="ABCDE" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button2"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="A" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button3"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="ABC" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/layout2"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal" >

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button1"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="ABCDE" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button2"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="A" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button3"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:text="ABC" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</TableRow>
