i had tried a similar approach but it managed to get it to work. in fact even defining the button in XML didnt work. i had put up a message in this regard but got no response :( the workaround was something like this - in the activity being displayed, define the View (which has the canvas) and the button separately. then use a ViewGroup container (i used a RelativeLayout) and add the View and the Button as child views to this Container. finally you use setContetView(myLayoutContainer) to display it all. u can use the LayoutParams to position the button anywhere within the container. its a simple matter to get a "handle" to the button anywhere in your code so as to register the click events. from what i gather, if you need to display two or more views (i.e. ur View with the canvas and the Button) then it is necessary to use a ViewGroup object such as LinearLayout, RelativeLayout etc.
hope that helps.
