Answer 1

What I ended up doing is creating my own buttons and disabling the default ones so I would have full control.

Something like this in the layout to place the buttons:

Then this in the code to disable the default buttons and setup our new ones:

map.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false);

// setup zoom control buttons
Button zoomout = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bzoomout);
zoomout.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(map.getCameraPosition().zoom >= 8.0f){
            // Zoom like normal
            map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomOut());
        }else{
            // Do whatever you want if user went too far
            Messages.toast_short(MapsActivity.this, "Maximum zoom out level reached");
        }
    }

});

Button zoomin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bzoomin);
zoomin.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (map.getCameraPosition().zoom <= 14.0f) {
            // Zoom like normal
            map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomIn());
        } else {
            // Do whatever you want if user went too far
            Messages.toast_short(MapsActivity.this, "Maximum zoom in level reached");
        }
    }
});
