Not directly, but you can create your own Button subclass that has an EditText built-in

can't you put them over each other and make 'em disappear/reappear on click ?

 

[jonbonazza]

You cant detect the input on the buttons if there is an EditText on top.

Now that I think about it. The best ting to do would be to subclass EditText and implement the OnClickListener Interface.

what about having the button and the edittext on the same position , and when one button is clicked , the other edittext would go into "gone" status and the button would show
I don't see how this may not work

Well, in this case, that would work I suppose, but it's really not the best method of doing things. There are only a handful of scenarios where "hiding" a control is considered good practice. This is what the enabled state is there for.
