Can I increase a buttons onclick-area programmatically?

I have just found a neat way to solve this problem.

1. Surround the button with a say a LinearLayout that has the padding round the button.
2. Add the same onclick to the LinearLayout as the Button.

3. In the Button set the duplicateParentState to true which make the button highlight when you click outside the button but inside the LinearLayout.
