In Adapter Class

public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
    View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.vehicals_details_row, parent, false);
    Button deleteImageView = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.DeleteImageView);
    deleteImageView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //...
        }
    });
}

But you can get an issue - listView row not clickable. Solution:

make ListView focusable android:focusable="true"
Button not focusable android:focusable="false"

Why make ListView focusable and Button not focusable? I mean what happens when we do this?

mukesh Over a year ago

ListView only response on clicking row but Button will stop getting focus.When we add checkbox, imageview or button then some time Listview stop response on click

Franck Over a year ago

Hi. Thanks for this solution. And how to send the data back to the activity who contain the Listview? On more clear, how the adapter can send the click event on a row imageButtowm to the parent activity. (because I need the parent activity to react.

Bing Lan Over a year ago

@Franck try using handler to send data back.

Juozas Over a year ago

This worked perfectly, and must be the right answer. ListView focusable true, button focusable false. Thanks!

You can set the onClick event in your custom adapter's getView method..
check the link http://androidforbeginners.blogspot.it/2010/03/clicking-buttons-in-listview-row.html

UI operations or listeners should not be done in the Adapter. If i want to get it to the calling activity. How do i do it?

Try This,

public View getView(final int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) 
{
   if(convertView == null)
   {
        LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
        convertView  = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT, null);
   }

   Button Button1= (Button)  convertView  .findViewById(R.id.BUTTON1_ID);

   Button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
   { 
       @Override
       public void onClick(View v) 
       {
           // Your code that you want to execute on this button click
       }

   });


   return convertView ;
}

It may help you....

You must set only one ClickListener per convertView

Daniel Gomez Rico Over a year ago

But you will create OnClickListener object on every getView, that's not bad?

In your custom adapter inside getView method :

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Do things Here 
    }
});

Here how to get the list item details like postion and all

TharakaNirmana · Accepted Answer · 2015-07-22 06:46:06Z

This has been discussed in many posts but still I could not figure out a solution with:

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

Below solution will work with any of the ui components : Button, ImageButtons, ImageView, Textview. LinearLayout, RelativeLayout clicks inside a listview cell and also will respond to onItemClick:

Adapter class - getview():

    @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = convertView;
            if (view == null) {
                view = lInflater.inflate(R.layout.my_ref_row, parent, false);
            }
            final Organization currentOrg = organizationlist.get(position).getOrganization();

            TextView name = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.name);
            Button btn = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.btn_check);
            btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    context.doSelection(currentOrg);

                }
            });

       if(currentOrg.isSelected()){
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sub_search_tick);
        }else{
            btn.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sub_search_tick_box);
        }

    }

In this was you can get the button clicked object to the activity. (Specially when you want the button to act as a check box with selected and non-selected states):

    public void doSelection(Organization currentOrg) {
        Log.e("Btn clicked ", currentOrg.getOrgName());
        if (currentOrg.isSelected() == false) {
            currentOrg.setSelected(true);
        } else {
            currentOrg.setSelected(false);
        }
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

    }

Here's a download link to a zipped Android Studio Project that does exactly what you want. It works perfectly and is thoroughly tested. developersfound.com/ListButtonClickExample.zip Also the technique in this project also works with the new RecycleLists

I assume you have defined custom adapter for your ListView.

If this is the case then you can assign onClickListener for your button inside the custom adapter's getView() method.

Class for ArrayList & ArrayAdapter

class RequestClass {
    private String Id;
    private String BookingTime;
    private String UserName;
    private String Rating;

    public RequestClass(String Id,String bookingTime,String userName,String rating){
        this.Id=Id;
        this.BookingTime=bookingTime;
        this.UserName=userName;
        this.Rating=rating;
    }

    public String getId(){return Id; }
    public String getBookingTime(){return BookingTime; }
    public String getUserName(){return UserName; }
    public String getRating(){return Rating; }


}

Main Activity:

 ArrayList<RequestClass> _requestList;
    _requestList=new ArrayList<>();
                    try {
                        JSONObject jsonobject = new JSONObject(result);
                        JSONArray JO = jsonobject.getJSONArray("Record");
                        JSONObject object;
                        for (int i = 0; i < JO.length(); i++) {
                            object = (JSONObject) JO.get(i);

                            _requestList.add(new RequestClass( object.optString("playerID"),object.optString("booking_time"),
                                    object.optString("username"),object.optString("rate") ));
                        }//end of for loop

                        RequestCustomAdapter adapter = new RequestCustomAdapter(context, R.layout.requestlayout, _requestList);

I find

final Button yourButton = (Button)view.findViewById(R.id.your_button);
yourButton.setFocusable(false);
yourButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
        ...///);

can solve the problem. If you want to get some data when clicking the button, using tags is helpful. Here the button is declared final because it will be used within inner class.

is it supposed to be an answer?

I just add the first line before setting an OnClickListener, and it seems working, but I don't know why.

FOR KOTLIN USERS

inside your getView(...) method if you try to start an activity through button onClickListener:

   myButton.setOnClickListener{
        val intent = Intent(this@CurrentActivity, SecondActivity::class.java)
        startActivity(intent)
   }

Pass the correct pointer for "this"
