This is a fairly old question, but obviously of interest to a lot of people. For a simple layout of 4 buttons like this, it seems that a TableLayout is the easiest way to accomplish the desired result.

Here's some example code showing the first 2 rows of a table with 6 columns spanning the width of its parent. The LinearLayout and ImageView in each cell are used to allow for the "turning on and off" of an image within the cell while having the color of the cell persist.
