Solution

this is one of the approach where you have to give your TableRow manually height so you can achieve this as follows

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
    <ScrollView android:id="@+id/layout"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scrollbars="horizontal|vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
        android:scrollbarStyle="outsideInset"
        android:fillViewport="true"
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <TableRow
                android:gravity="center"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="100dp">
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow
                android:gravity="center"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="100dp">
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow
                android:gravity="center"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="100dp">
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="100dp">
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

            </TableRow>
            <TableRow
                android:gravity="center"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="100dp">
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

            </TableRow>
            <TableRow
                android:gravity="center"

                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow
                android:gravity="center"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="100dp">
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
                <Button android:layout_weight="1" android:text="Button" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow

            </TableRow>

        </LinearLayout>
    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>  

Another way of achieving the this you can use GridView or RecyclerView. RecyclerView is easiest way to achieve this. I hope its work for you. Thank you
