ViewConfiguration - Setting the zoomControlsTimeout

Question

I'm trying to determine how to set the ViewConfiguration.zoomControlsTimeout setting in the Android 1.5 framework, when working with a MapView. There is information on how to get this data, but how can I set it?

My end goal is to ensure zoom controls are always displayed on the screen, instead of the default hide/show behavior.

If you look at the source code to getZoomControlsTimeout() in ViewConfiguration (e.g., use Google Code Search), you will see that it is a hardwired constant.

I suspect that you will need to implement your own zoom controls to achieve the look you seek.
