New Android Developer Needs Advice

Hello all. I am fairly new to Android but have been taking video classes for a while now. I have developed applications on other platforms but not Android. I have an app (tv epg) on a Roku platform and wish to bring it to Android. My question is this, what type of component would be best for the grid itself (the program title area). I have done a lot of reading on this in other forums and seems like there is no one solution. I have seem people recommend tablelayouts and gridviews. I am not necessarily looking for somebody to provide code, but more advice to what I should be concentrating on. Like I said I am new to Android so I will take all advice offered.
Thanks

I think maybe GridView would be the simplest solution to implement this.
Someone already did it, although this video isn't much help, because there's no code, it shows how the UI could look:

Thanks for the link. I was thinking of the Gridview being the best from what I have read but didn't know it's full abilities. From what I understand, it comes in with vertical and horizontal scrolling which would be needed. Thanks again for your input.
