Answer 1

That button might not be part of the ListView, just of the main layout of that Activity.

If I understand what you’re saying, you have a main view containing a ListView and a Button. If that affirmation is right, then you need to use an Activity instead of ListActivity or use :

mActivity= this ;
Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText("push me");
button.setLayoutParams(new AbsListView.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(mActivity, "push", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
getListView().addFooterView(button);

Be sure to call addFooterView(View v) before setAdapter(ListAdapter adapter)
