I have a listView, where each row has a button in the row layout. However, this seems to make the row itself unclickable. How can I make both the button and row clickable?
Thanks.

You need to set itemsCanFocus on the list like this:
mList.setItemsCanFocus(true); To make the button clickable. Then you will need to use your own adapter and in getView return a view which is Clickable and focusable. You will also lose the default highlight states so you need to put them back in with the background resource. So do this:
view.setClickable(true); view.setFocusable(true); view.setBackgroundResource(android.R.drawable.menuitem_background); to your view before returning your view.

Thank you very much. In addition I had to add an OnClickListener to the view.

Any idea how to get the highlight states of the holo themes that is used in lists by default?
menuitem_background is orange but the default state should be blueish.

This doesn't work. The AdapterView.OnItemClickListener is never called.

To do it all in xml, see related answer
Whenever I see posts concerning the android:focusable and android:clickable attributes, I always see them being both set to the same value at once. I figured there must be a reason if they are two separate attributes instead of being one.
It turns out that a much better way of achieving your desired behavior is to set
android:focusable="false" or
yourButton.setFocusable(false) on the Button in your View. Once you do that, you'll be both able to set an OnClickListener on the Button, and a click on the row will fire the onListItemClick() method in your OnItemClickListener.

Try to set your widgets to non clickable and non focusable in xml,the click on items will work normally and also the click on button will work normally.
android:clickable="false" android:focusable="false" Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I don't think that is possible. You ListView row can either have focusable widgets, like a button, or be clickable, not both. See link.
