Found my own answer, almost: mapView.getZoomButtonsController().setAutoDismissed(false);
First of all mapView.getZoomButtonsController() is not documented in the Reference API :file:///C:/android-sdk-windows/add-ons/ google_apis-5_r01/docs/reference/index.html, so I guess its no wonder I didn't find it right away. Second of all even with calling this and even calling this in conjunction with mapView.displayZoomControls(true); the zoom controls still don't show up when the map is first displayed. However, the mapView.getZoomButtonsController().setAutoDismissed(false); does prevent the zoom controls from disappearing once they are there. Now if I can just get them to appear when the mapview first gets displayed. I guess I'll have to find some hidden method to do that as well. -Paul On Nov 12, 5:27 pm, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > SinceMapView.getZoomControls() is deprecated in API level 5, how do > we keep the &*(#$(!!!zoomcontrols from disappearing ????
