Well, a look at the source code reveals that Seshu has a point. There is
virtually no difference between a Button and a TextView:
public class Button extends TextView {
> public Button(Context context) {
> this(context, null);
> }
>
> public Button(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
> this(context, attrs, com.android.internal.R.attr.buttonStyle);
> }
>
> public Button(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
> super(context, attrs, defStyle);
> }
