You can create a custom "button" from a View element by adding in xml to your view android:onClick="myFunction" and in code declare your function void myFunction(View v){ .. }.

Or declare click listeners on your View in code

LinearLayout myLinearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.myLinearButton); 
myLinearLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    myFunction(v);
}
});

void myFunction(View v){
//do something awesome here
}

This is the simplest way I think. Or you can extend a Button class, add new XML styles for different button states (activated, highlighted, normal) http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/button.html

The best and proper way is to create a subclass of Button, and inflate your custom XML layout in the constructor. This way the custom button is reusable.

Give that LinearLayout an id. Add an onClickListener to that. and you got a button with that layout.
