I did some research and amongst other things I found this thread. It elaborates upon a similar issue that you're having (of the button not gaining focus). Try the following: On your buttons, set setFocusable(true) (NOT setFocusableInTouchMode! As this spawns the annoying behaviour you stated in your OP), then set the following OnClickListener on your Buttons:

    return new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO workaround because of android issue nr. 2705
            button.requestFocusFromTouch();
            // Do some stuff to handle OnClick
        }
    };

But they should probably just fix the focus stuff for buttons, the current behaviour really does cause some issues (like yours).
