    </TableLayout>

</LinearLayout>

@drawable/border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape= "rectangle">
    <solid android:color="#FF0303"/>
    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>

In order to create a border around your table rows and around the table layout, you need to create a drawable to serve as a border and then set it as a background to your rows.

For example:

res/drawable/border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:shape= "rectangle">
   <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
   <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>

res/layout/your_layout.xml

<TableLayout
     android:id="@+id/table2"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_below="@+id/test_button_text23"
     android:layout_marginLeft="45dp"
     android:layout_marginBottom="25dp"
     android:layout_marginRight="45dp"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:stretchColumns="*">

     <TableRow
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:background="@drawable/border">

           <TextView
              android:gravity="left"
              android:text="Quantity"
              android:background="@drawable/border"
              android:textStyle="bold"/>

           <TextView
              android:gravity="center"
              android:textStyle="bold"
              android:background="@drawable/border"
              android:text="Item" />

     </TableRow>

</TableLayout>
