Just playing around with it, amusingly, it looks like most of what is needed for a button is right in the View superclass anyway. E.g. you can set android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default" on a LinearLayout, call setOnClickListener on it which also makes it clickable, then it properly changes color when you touch it and everything.
