If you already know that you have 6 items, why not just create 6 blocks. i.e. If you have 6 images, why not just create 6 image views?

enter image description here

Ex:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:weightSum="3" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:orientation = "horizontal"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:weightSum="100">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:src="@drawable/sunny"/>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image2"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:src="@drawable/sunny"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:orientation = "horizontal"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:weightSum="100">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image3"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:src="@drawable/sunny"/>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image4"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:src="@drawable/sunny"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:orientation = "horizontal"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:weightSum="100">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image5"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:src="@drawable/sunny"/>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/image6"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_weight="50"
            android:src="@drawable/sunny"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

If your GridView will always be of fixed size and you need to fit all items on the screen simultaneously (so you don't need scrolling capabilities) I suggest you use GridLayout instead. It'll be easy to fit the whole GridLayout inside the screen, by setting its layout_width and layout_height properties to the match_parent.
