This code is showing me some good results in Eclipse, but as soon as I sent the file to my device and try to add the widget to my homescreen I get this error code and the widget showing: "Problem Loading the Widget":

So what? I cannot use a Tablelayout within a widget????

What is the best solution so? I can create a lot of relativelayout but I guess that’s not a good idea.

    widget????

    If by “widget” you mean “app widget”, then, no, you cannot use a TableLayout in an app widget. There are only a few widgets that can be used in an app widget.

    I can create a lot of relativelayout
    but I guess that’s not a good idea.

    I do not know why you think RelativeLayout is bad. You may be able to replace your LinearLayout, TableLayout, and TableRow widgets with a single RelativeLayout.
