How to position MapView's zoom controls to a different location on the screen?

Question

android.view.View.getZoomControls() is deprecated, and the MapView reference says to use the out-of-the-box setBuiltInZoomControls(boolean) instead. However, I want to not only show the zoom controls, but be able to move it to a different location on the screen, i.e. lower-right. How can I get a reference to the built-in zoom controls - without using the deprecated method above - to control its location? Thanks in advance!

I dug around and found:

    ZoomControls controls = (ZoomControls) mapView.getZoomButtonsController().getZoomControls();

My Eclipse does not give a warning about anything above being deprecated. However, when I search the MapView reference for getZoomButtonsController, I do not find such a method! So, I guess, it's an undocumented, but non-deprecated method in the API.
