How do I make a ZoomControl on a MapView transparent?

Issue

I have a bunch of buttons on my MapView already transparent so I would like to make the built in zoom control at the bottom transparent also. The getZoomControl() on MapView is deprecated. Anyone have an idea of how to get a hold of the Buttons in the control without the getZoomControl?

Edit:

So I figured it out. It turns out that the ZoomButtonsController has a container that is just a ViewGroup. I can parse through that containers children to find the object that is an instanceof a ZoomControl, which is a down the line instance of a ViewGroup. I can parse through the children of the ZoomControl to get the ZoomButtons that it contains. getBackground() of the ZoomButton and setAlpha().

Here is my code:

android.widget.ZoomButtonsController zbc = mapView.getZoomButtonsController();
    ViewGroup container = zbc.getContainer();
    for (int i = 0; i < container.getChildCount(); i++) {
        View child = container.getChildAt(i);
        if (child instanceof ZoomControls) {
            ViewGroup zoomC = (ViewGroup)child;
            for (int j = 0; j < zoomC.getChildCount(); j++) {
                View btn = zoomC.getChildAt(j);
                if ( btn instanceof ZoomButton ) { 
                    ((ZoomButton)btn).getBackground().setAlpha(120);
                }
            }
            break;
        } 
    }

Solution

To my understanding it is deprecated in android.view.View but it resides in android.widget.ZoomButtonsController. Not sure if that helps. Let me know.

Here is some documentation.
