[android-developers] Re: Locate Zoom Controls (x,y) in MapView?

I highly suggest just implementing your own ZoomControls as an
"appropriate" alternative. You can add a ZoomControls element to your
layout, place it wherever you want, and have much more control over
it, without having to do a lot of hackery around the built-in variety
(just set it to not use built-in). The only things you may need to do
are handle touch events to determine when you want them to appear/
disappear automatically, and handle their actions. I think it's
generally been found that to do anything complex with MapViews, the
built-in items are best left as proof-of-concept examples (such as the
my location overlay), to base your own more customized versions off
of.
