How to set number of columns in android tablelayout

Question

I have the following code:

<TableLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android: {code is required here}="2">

<TableRow>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/accelerometer_label"
        android: {code is required here}="1"
        android:text="Accelerometer"
        android:textSize="9pt"
        android:padding="3dip" />
</TableRow>

I am trying to get the data to display in three columns, any idea what code needs to go in the {code is required here} section?
