360 degree panorama street view in iOS from google map sdk

Question

I want to show this location inside the map with out using Google Maps URL Scheme.I used GMSPanoramaView for showing street view by using given lat/long (53.426398,-2.242795) but inside building area not showing , that area is showing in browser or URL Scheme.

I used github demo code to show street view but I want to show exactly above location inside app.

I dont want to use webview ,safari or google map app.

Answer 1

I think you are missing

[panoramaView_ moveToPanoramaID:@"i3XJvXkmgNMAAAQW-ezYnQ"];

Answer 2

It's possible! Extract the panoid from user2744623's post:

Here's an alternate link (used Embedder for Google Business View) https://maps.google.com/maps?layer=c&panoid=shcQTg4Y9qh9T0p5aspVvA&ie=UTF8&source=embed&output=svembed&cbp=13%2C213%2C%2C0%2C0

And then use it as a PanoramaID in the iOS SDK:

GMSPanoramaView *view_ = [GMSPanoramaView panoramaWithFrame:CGRectZero
                          nearCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(53.426398, -2.242795)];
[view_ moveToPanoramaID:@"shcQTg4Y9qh9T0p5aspVvA"];

You can then set GMSPanoramaCamera:cameraWithHeading:pitch:zoom: to whichever angle you prefer:

[GMSPanoramaCamera cameraWithHeading:200.0f pitch:-10.0f zoom:1];

Here's the official documentation on GMSPanoramaView:moveToPanoramaID::

Requests a panorama with panoramaID. Upon successful completion panoramaView:didMoveToPanorama: will be sent to GMSPanoramaViewDelegate. On error panoramaView:error:onMoveToPanoramaID: will be sent. Repeated calls to moveToPanoramaID: result in the previous pending (incomplete) transitions being cancelled -- only the most recent of moveNearCoordinate: and moveToPanoramaId: will proceed and generate events. Only panoramaIDs obtained from the Google Maps SDK for iOS are supported.

I think you can ignore the last sentence, heh.

Here's a complete-ish implementation, adapted from the SDK demo project:

@interface PanoramaViewController () <GMSPanoramaViewDelegate>
@end

@implementation PanoramaViewController {
    GMSPanoramaView *view_;
    BOOL configured_;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    view_ = [GMSPanoramaView panoramaWithFrame:CGRectZero
                                nearCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(53.426398, -2.242795)];
    view_.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
    view_.delegate = self;
    self.view = view_;

    [view_ moveToPanoramaID:@"shcQTg4Y9qh9T0p5aspVvA"];
}

#pragma mark - GMSPanoramaDelegate

- (void)panoramaView:(GMSPanoramaView *)view
   didMoveToPanorama:(GMSPanorama *)panorama {
    if (!configured_) {
        view_.camera = [GMSPanoramaCamera cameraWithHeading:200.0f pitch:-10.0f zoom:1];

        configured_ = YES;
    }
}

// Use to fine-tune initial heading and pitch
- (void)panoramaView:(GMSPanoramaView *)panoramaView
       didMoveCamera:(GMSPanoramaCamera *)camera {
    NSLog(@"Camera: (%f,%f,%f)", camera.orientation.heading, camera.orientation.pitch, camera.zoom);
}

// Helpful in finding other panorama IDs or debugging:
- (void)panoramaView:(GMSPanoramaView *)view
willMoveToPanoramaID:(NSString *)panoramaID {
    NSLog(@"willMoveToPanoramaID: %@", panoramaID);
}

- (void)panoramaView:(GMSPanoramaView *)view
               error:(NSError *)error
  onMoveToPanoramaID:(NSString *)panoramaID {
    NSLog(@"error: %@ onMoveToPanoramaID: %@", error, panoramaID);
}

@end
