Answer 1

You have to create button object in adapter where u r inflating list item layout.

like

  Button b = (Button)yourViewobject.findViewById(R.id.button1);

Now implement onClick event for that

  b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });

EDIT: Use this. Make one custom file in drawable folder named mybutton.xml

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

   <item android:drawable="@drawable/selected" android:state_selected="true"></item>

   <item android:drawable="@drawable/normal"></item>

   </selector>

Now just in your custom layout file set background for your both buttons.

   android:background="@drawable/mybutton" // for Hindi Button

and same as for english button.

And also now remove onClick event method from your adapter.

Need to change..

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn_eng"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="100px"
            android:layout_height="31px"
            android:layout_marginLeft="11dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="17dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="35dp"
            android:clickable = "true"
            android:focusable = "true"
            android:layout_alignTop="@+id/btn_hindi"                    
            android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/ImageView12"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/ImageView12"
            android:background="@drawable/mybutton"
            android:text="ENG"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

  public class CustomAdapter  extends BaseAdapter
{

private Context mContext;
Cursor cursor;
public CustomAdapter(Context context,Cursor cur) 
{
        super();
        mContext=context;
        cursor=cur;

}

public int getCount() 
{
    // return the number of records in cursor
    return cursor.getCount();
}

// getView method is called for each item of ListView
public View getView(int position,  View view, ViewGroup parent) 
{
                // inflate the layout for each item of listView
                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview_each_item, null);


                                    // fetch the sender number and sms body from cursor
                String Number="123456";

                // get the reference of textViews
                TextView Number=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.textViewSMSSender);
                Button btn=(Button)view.findViewById(R.id.button);

                // Set the Sender number and smsBody to respective TextViews 
                Number.setText(senderNumber);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});


                return view;
}

public Object getItem(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return position;
}

public long getItemId(int position) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return position;
}

}

Do this in your custom adapter

@Override
      public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded,
        View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
         ViewHolder viewHolder;
       if (convertView == null) {

        convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
        viewHolder=new ViewHolderforGroup();
           viewHolder.btn = (Button)convertView.findViewById(R.id.btn);
          convertView.setTag(viewHolder)
       }else{
           viewHolder = (ViewHolder)convertView.getTag(viewHolder);
       }

       viewHolder.btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {


                }
            });


    }

    static class ViewHolder{
      Button btn;

    }
