title: Using StreetViewPanorama for an Android panorama viewer app?
body: <p>My application's output would be a panorama photo. I looked around for solutions but I couldn't find one which I liked. Almost all of what I saw were an exact copy of a many years old project back on code.google, using GL ES 10 only.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like possible good performance and I also want to avoid reinventing the wheel. Google's Open Spherical API (<a href="https://developers.google.com/streetview/open-spherical-camera/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/streetview/open-spherical-camera/</a>) is great, but I need an implementation for a viewer.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if it's possible to reuse <code>StreetViewPanorama</code>'s capabilities to implement a 360 viewer leaving out the Google Maps portion. Looks like that <code>getStreetViewPanorama</code> requires a <code>MapView</code>. If not <code>StreetViewPanorama</code>, is there another API I could use?</p>
  
  <p>Or is there some intent I can fire? In that case I should tell though that I periodically would like to update the displayed 360 image.</p>
