Question

I have an XML layout with an imageview and textview on the same row. This works perfectly but now i want to place three buttons underneath this and I cant figure out what layout to use to implemts these buttons as the layout just sets within the row between the image and textview.

The following image shows what Im trying to achieve. (b1,b2 and b3 represent the buttons)

Can anyone give me a push in the right direction for how i can get this layout?

Heres my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imgLink"
    android:layout_width="78dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/cons" />

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >



        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="75dp"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:text="Contacts"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
            android:textSize="40sp" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
