Android TableRow stretch vertically to fill screen

Question

I'm trying to create a phone dialer view, using a TableLayout to create the 12 buttons in a 3x4 grid. I would like the rows to stretch vertically to use up all available space equally, but it appears fill_parent doesn't work on TableRows.

I would like not to have to use setMinimumHeight - is there a way to do this properly in the layout?

Thanks very much,

Ed
