Answer 1

You should use your Adapter to populate the list with the items. Then in your Activity or Fragment you should implement the onListItemClick event to handle the click on the list item.

EDIT: I am posting an example below where I am using a ListFragment - this is the piece of code I have available right now, I can post something specific to ListView later:

public class RecipiesActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private RecipiesSummaryListAdapter m_listAdapter; 

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        /* here you need to set the adapter of the listview 
           and do other things for your applicaiton (i.e. populate the 
           data in your adapter. In your case, since you are calling a 
           WS you want to do that in a different task */ 
        ListFragment lf = 
             (ListFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.my_list_fragment);
        lf.setListAdapter(m_listAdapter);
}

Then in your ListFragment:

/* imports and other things go here then... */ 
public class MyListFragment extends ListFragment {

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        return (View) inflater.inflate(R.layout.myListViewXml, 
                                           container, false);
    }

    @Override
    public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
        // put your handler here

    }   
}

For details on ListFragment see here.

I think that a very nice example (although by extending ArrayAdapter instead of BaseAdapter is hown in this stackoverflow answer.

There is one point to remember:

1. The button must not be focusable (i.e. in XML use android:focusable="false" - like you have in your XML).
2. You need to capture provide an onItemClick event handled as shown below (extract from the link above):

Code:

listview.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    //@Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView arg0, View view,
                                  int position, long id) {
        // user clicked a list item, make it "selected"
        selectedAdapter.setSelectedPosition(position);
        //Do your stuff here
}

Finally, note one point. This solution means that you click on the list row and the event gets fired.

I think that if you want the user to click on the button and the event to get fired on the button, then you need to set call listview.setItemsCanFocus(true) right after you inflate your ListView XML and make sure that the Button is focusable in the XML. Listening for the onClick event should work then.

This is described in Slide 25 of the GoogleIO World of ListView presentation (you can get it here and the video is here)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

try the following for your button:

android:focusable="false"

Answer 3

Write the holder.btnList.setOnClickListener inside the if (rowView == null) condition and try again.

Answer 4

use the following code in getView() Method:

    Button status = (Button) rowView.findViewById(R.id.image1);
        status.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.add_account);
        status.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                       // DO your stuff
            }
        });
