Prevent the adapter from recycling views on scroll

Just don't use the convertView param passed to getView() and always return a freshly generated View.

However, this is a bad solution in terms of performance. Instead, your goal should not be to prevent recycling but to recycle correcltly: Your getView() should reset the convertView to it's pristine state.

So, if there's a change that some of your Button's properties are changed from their non-default values, reset them back to defaults in getView().
