Should I use a GridView or TableLayout for a Checkers/Draughts Board on Android?

I'm pretty new to android, and I want to make a checkers game. Should I use a gridview, tablelayout, or something else to construct an 8x8 board on which you can place and move pieces. Please explain your answer: what are the specific benefits to whatever you think is best to create this board.

Thanks, Evan

PS Any other suggestions for this app are also appreciated.

Between the GridView and the TableLayout, I'd go with the GridView.

You will see the benefits when you try to get the users' move. In a TableLayout you would have to write a switch{} for each of the 64 squares. In a GridView you can set an onItemClickListener to get the users' move, regardless of the position.
