How to layout zoom Control with setBuiltInZoomControls(true)?

Question

would like to add a zoom control to the map. I also want to layout the position of the zoom Control instead of the default middle bottom position. I can do this by getZoomControl but it is deprecated.

Could anyone tell me how to do this with setBuildtInZoomControls?

Answer 1

This is how I got mine working finally (by embedding a ZoomControl in XML layout).

mapView = (MapView) this.findViewById(R.id.mapView);

ZoomControls zoomControls = (ZoomControls) findViewById(R.id.zoomcontrols);
zoomControls.setOnZoomInClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mapView.getController().zoomIn();
        }
});
zoomControls.setOnZoomOutClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mapView.getController().zoomOut();
        }
});
