try this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/homeTableLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
     >

 <LinearLayout
     android:layout_centerInParent="true"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="100dip"
    android:background="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"
    >
    <!-- arrange your lables and button here -->

    </LinearLayout>
   <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="100dip"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:background="@android:color/holo_purple"
    android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
    >
       <ListView
           android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
           android:layout_height="fill_parent"

           ></ListView>
   </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

look the wireframe below . you can set corner-radius and add controls in it.

You can use the Relative layout for this as follows

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

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/first_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="20dip" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/btn1" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/btn2" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn4"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/btn3" />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/second_layout"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/first_layout" >

        <GridView
            android:id="@+id/gridview"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
        </GridView>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
