Android google maps button style
The button is a 70% semi-transparant white.
Or in HEX, #B3FFFFFF
If you disassemble Google Play Services apk by using apktool, and look into drawable
* folders, you will find the resources for these buttons among other resources.
For example, this is the drawable of the upper zoom button:res/drawable/maps_btn_zoom_up.xml
, and this is the "empty" button: res/drawable/maps_btn_standalone.xml
. Looking at them, it is a lot easier to match their style.
The apk will probably be named like com.google.android.gms-#.apk
, where #
is some number; you can snatch it from a device which has Google Play Services installed by using adb pull
command, it doesn't even require rooting if you know the exact file name.
Update
Here is the archive with relevant resources for the empty standalone button, obtained by this way.

The color of the button content is #666666.
Here is an example of a custom view that looks like a google maps button using that background and that color for the text:
