If you want a linear set of buttons use a LinearLayout. If you want a grid, simply put a TableLayout in your XML with several TableRow inside. You can use ImageButton to have a button with an image in the middle (use the src attribute).
All the widgets derive from View, which has a "background" attribute so you can change the background to an image or a gradient on any of your widgets.
