Here's an example of a TableLayout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- 2 columns -->
<TableRow
    android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="5dip" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:text="Column 1" />
</TableRow>

Dark borders are achieved by making a shape, see this for an example: Create borders on a android view in drawable xml, on 3 sides?

I'm not sure what you mean by a transparent background. Is it a black or white background, or one where you can see the home launcher view?

I would like to see transparency as a percentage of the background of my app – ddd Mar 17 '14 at 23:09
What would be behind the app so that it could be transparent? – ElectronicGeek Mar 17 '14 at 23:10
I want the background of the LinearLayout is visible in the percentage even having in front of TableLayout – ddd Mar 17 '14 at 23:16
So you want the LinearLayout to be visible behind the TableLayout? – ElectronicGeek Mar 17 '14 at 23:18
Yes, but I want to see also the borders of TableLayout – ddd Mar 17 '14 at 23:19
That seems like there would be a lot of overlap, it seems confusing. – ElectronicGeek Mar 17 '14 at 23:20
I don't think it's possible to have two layouts overlapping. You can have them transparent so that you can see the homescreen, though. – ElectronicGeek Mar 18 '14 at 00:26
