Table layout is way too slow

Originally, I was putting images into a table layout for display. But it's very time-consuming to update each time a button is pressed. So, is there any faster way to achieve the same effect of table Layout for imageView elements display? thanks

Could you provide a screenshot of what you want your result to look like?

I didn't find a way to add image to this this comment. But I changed my profile image to the screen shot if it helps any.

It is safe for me to say... that I have no idea what's going on in your picture. Sorry!

I'm trying to create some pixel-like image using tablelayout.

You might have slightly better performance than a TableLayout with a GridLayout, but it sounds like it's probably related to the images. If you have that many images that all need to be loaded, try to make them as small as possible. As far as speeding up the update, that depends on what you're doing and how you're doing it when the button is pressed. You will want to cache as much as possible and only change as little as is needed. Sorry this isn't more concrete advice, but hopefully you find a good solution. :)
