ListView and Buttons inside ListView

Just to make this clear – and no one seems to have said something this simple – whilst one is not allowed to have a focusable button work in conjunction with the list view, there is a much simpler solution for this.

The accepted answer is a given - you should always do that when setting the click listener for list items, so that is silly that OP didn't know that.

If you are using an XML layout as your list item, simply set the button to have the following attribute and it will cause the list item to be clickable as well:

android:focusable="false"

Add the line below to your list item XML.

android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"

Then your list item will be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    // Your layout objects here

</RelativeLayout>
