Android: Trying to have buttons in TableLayout to be all the same size and stretch out to fill the screen width

Question

I'm making a sound board. I have a tablelayout of 2 by 8. I would like it so the buttons are all the same size and will stretch out to fill the screen width. I tried setting the width t fill_parent, but then their was only one button per row instad of 2. Right now I have the size set to a fix number.
