You need to create onClick event inside getChildView() method. Just like you use setText() for your child TextView you can use that for the button too. Like this:

@Override
public View getChildView(int groupPosition, final int childPosition,
                         boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    final String childText = (String) getChild(groupPosition, childPosition);


    if (convertView == null) {
        LayoutInflater infalInflater = (LayoutInflater) this._context
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = infalInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item, null);
    }

    TextView txtListChild = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.lblListItem);
    txtListChild.setText(childText);

    Button button = convertView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
    button.setOnClickListener(); <-------------- HERE
    return convertView;
}

But there is option for ExpandableListView to use listener for OnChildClickListener. So, basically, you handle child click events there. You can read more about that here:

Documentation | ExpandableListView.OnChildClickListener

You can also find many examples here on SO or just google it.

EDIT: How to create a custom popup dialog

To call the custom popup you want to create you first need to create a custom dialog class like this:

public class PopupDialog extends Dialog {

    private Context context;

    public PopupDialog(@NonNull Context context) {
        super(context, R.style.NoActionBarDialog);
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.YOUR_POPUP_LAYOUT);

        TextView text = findViewById(R.id.popup_text);
        //find your views like this and use them as you want

    }
    
    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        //do nothing <----- only this if you want to forbid the user to exit the dialog with the back button, else don't override this method
    }
}

Now when you have this custom popup dialog you can call it like this inside your onClick method:

Button button = convertView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                PopupDialog popup_dialog = new PopupDialog (_context);
                popup_dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
                popup_dialog.setContentView(R.layout.popup_dialog_layout);
                Window help_window = popup_dialog.getWindow();
                help_window.setLayout(AbsListView.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, AbsListView.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
                popup_dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
                popup_dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
                popup_dialog.show();
            }
        });

And add this to your theme.xml or styles.xml

<!-- Dialog Theme -->
<style name="NoActionBarDialog" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Dialog.Bridge">
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMajor">97%</item>
    <item name="android:windowMinWidthMinor">97%</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowCloseOnTouchOutside">false</item>
</style>

okay, I add this 2 lines to my code, but what now, I need to create public void with code that open the new window or? Im sorry im beginner. — skokan, Feb 05 '21 at 23:05
Depends on how you created your popup window. Can you show me your code for that popup window? — SlothCoding, Feb 05 '21 at 23:07
i will edit the popup after I finished the show process, I will add some things for input text, button, — skokan, Feb 05 '21 at 23:19
To do that you will need to create a class that extends dialog and inside handle button clicks and everything else. I'll edit my answer to give you an example. — SlothCoding, Feb 05 '21 at 23:21
okay, thanks you a lot for this, I was trying to do this for 2 weeks. — skokan, Feb 05 '21 at 23:22
