Edit button in listview item depending on other listview items

I would like to start by saying if you can think of a better title for this problem, feel free to change it since I have no clue how to explain this in a short way.
So here is my problem:
For the application I am trying to make I have these schedules, one schedule for today, and one for upcoming days. Both of these are a listview inside a fragment.
(I used those fragments to create tabs to seperate the two.)
Each game (let's call them games because calling them activities would be confusing) on the schedule has a status, and here is where the annoying part comes. I have been asked to check if any game has been started, and if so I need to disable the buttons to start any other game than the one that is already ongoing.
EDIT: The main problem is that I cannot use findViewById on the listview item because apparently it is a null object reference
I made a little "paint"ing to give you more of a graphical representation.
So long story short, I need a way to check the status inside of every listview item inside of the listview inside of the fragment inside the activity to use said status to disable every button except for the one of the ongoing game.
Little side note: If no games have been started yet, all buttons are enabled.
I hope this made sense.
If you want some code to go with this, feel free to ask but be warned, I am making this inside a testing app so a lot of useless testing data and sloppy code.
EDIT:
This is where I am stuck in a more clear example:
The start buttons are enabled but should be disabled.
Scrolling further down the list, there is a started 'game' and right below it, a game with the same status as in the previous picture where the button is disabled as it should be.
This is because the "isStartable" boolean in my code goes to false after the game with status "start" has passed and the following items are disabled.
When I scroll back up, it is how it should be, the items are all disabled but I need them to be like this when the listview gets filled. Any way to refresh the data in this listview and taking the "isStartable" boolean with it?
This is what it looks like after I scroll back up.

create a model class for your listview data items. Set a boolean variable in model class like isGameStarted. Set that variable as per your result.Then in your listview adapter, put a condition as below
if(isGameStarted){
holder.startButton.setEnable(true);
else
holder.startButton.setEnable(false);

How do I use onFocusChangeListener with respect to a several subclassed fragments?

I've got a BaseQuestion super class which extends a fragment. I've got several subclasses of this question, including DropDownQuestion and EditTextQuestion. I would like to do some pre-population and validation upon when a particular question has lost focus.
Originally, I had the onFocusChangeListener implemented by my BaseQuestion class, but it never got called, so I added setFocusable and setFocusableInTouchMode to a bunch of stuff in it, including the question's LinearLayout, and the actual view itself. But it still never got called. Then I realised, I can't add the logic in their, since it has no knowledge of the other questions. So I need to do it in my FragmentActivity.
So my actual question is: How do I know when the focus has been lost on a particular View in the Fragment whilst in the FragmentActivity and then act upon it?
Thanks!
UPDATE
Also, this is for a dynamic number of questions. So there may be quite a lot of questions.

One more bump!

ListItem click and checkbox click at the same time

I've been trying many things with list items and i'm facing some problems. In my previous question, thanks to #nEx.Software i was able to resolve the problem. But I'm still missing some concepts here.
Right now i'm trying to differentiate between an item's click and a checkbox within it. However, I want to do it without extending the array adapter. Is there a way to use both methods: listView.onItemClickListener() AND listView.getCheckedItemPositions(), together!
There should be a way to use an xml file [doesn't matter how complex it gets] along with extending the available Views and this thing should be done.
Putting it simple, open the gmail app, and u'll find all emails listed with checkboxes where u can click on the checkbox to mark it OR the rest of the item to open the email.
Again, I know that it is doable with extending Adapters and adding an Array for the checkboxes, but, is it possible to use the convenient methods: listView.onItemClickListener() AND listView.getCheckedItemPositions()? is CheckedTextView a part of the solution?
One more thing, rather than just answering me [where i become lazy]
Wheather it is possible or not, is there a verry reliable reference for such issues? I would really like to fully understand everything that goes into this matter... if its not possible, i must be able to tell why!
Thank you :)

add custom row into your listview. into your custom row you add one textview and checkbox into linerlayout and get linerlayout click event.

Android: ListView Listener?

I am wanting to display a text field stating that my listview is empty if there is nothing in my list. I know this can be accomplished quite simply using an android:id/empty textview in the xml file, but this also requires that I extend my activity with something other than Activity and I don't want to do that.
I guess my only solution is to create a textview and then set its visibility to gone when my code detects that something has been added to the listview. I can simply check the array that populates the list, but is there some sort of listener so I don't have to run a checkListIsEmpty() constantly throughout the code. I was hoping I could use something that would simply sit quiet and wait for the listview to become populated and when that happened change the visibility to visible and then begin waiting for it to become empty again.

Or you can use setEmptyView(View v) on your ListView in your Activity.

Delegating touch events

lets assume i have a LinearLayout , horizontal that contains a TextView and afterward a Spinner or another clicable TextView or an EditText.
I want that a click on any part of the line (if the layout has padding then the layout area as well!) will deleage the onTouchEvent to the Right part of the layout (EditText, TextView or Spinner) as if they were clicked themselves.
Doing it myself will require me either create my own versions of those widgets (too much work for little effect :-( ) or putting listeners on many items for the touch events and delegate them. I'm pretty sure Android has some methods or properties to do that, just didn't see any so far.
Can anyone help ?

I had to do something similar to this a while back, and ended up writing my own delegate and assigning the onclicklisteners for all of the components in my layout to that delegate. It's cumbersome, but not too painful to implement, and it turned out well.
Point being, I didn't see anything in the API to handle that sort of thing. The only other thing I might offer is that it is certainly possible to assign an onclicklistener to a component and simply send the event to another component's onclicklistener like so:
thislinearlayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
getOtherComponent().performClick();
}
});
You can do the same thing with touch listeners.
