Without seeing some code it's hard to give a definite answer, but these are a few possibilities.

Create the listview together with the button, but set it's visibility to View.GONE or View.INVISIBLE. In the button's onClick method, set it to View.VISIBLE.

Alternatively, do the listview creation in the button's onClick (which I gather is what you're doing?), making sure you don't forget to add it to your layout. I have no idea why this does not work for you. Show some code or use the debugger to step through it and find out where it goes wrong.
