PanoramaGL library was the first open source library in the world to see panoramic views on Android. This is a gradle build adaptation, along with other changes and updates. I am evolving the library to something easy to use any help is welcome. The native code is used as a static library.

Temporal docs about panorama object and json protocol the original google code wiki and here the new usage

The supported features in version 0.2 beta are:

• SDK 2.0 to 5.+.
• Architectures ARM, x86 and MIPS.
• OpenGL ES 1.0 and 1.1.
• Support for spherical, cubic and cylindrical panoramic images.
• Scrolling and continuous scrolling.
• Inertia to stop continuous scrolling.
• Zoom in and zoom out (moving two fingers on the screen).
• Reset (placing three fingers on the screen or shaking the device).
• Scrolling left to right and from top to bottom using the accelerometer.
• Sensorial rotation (Only compatible for devices with Gyroscope or Accelerometer and Magnetometer).
• Full control of camera including field of view, zoom, rotation, rotation range, animations, etc.
• Hotspots with commands.
• Simple JSON protocol.
• Creation of virtual tours using the JSON protocol or with programming.
• Transitions between panoramas.
• Support for events.

##Usage

Create a PLManagerobject and add the bindings to the activity lifecycle methods:

    private PLManager plManager;
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        plManager = new PLManager(this);
        plManager.onCreate();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        plManager.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        plManager.onPause();
        super.onPause();
    }
    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        plManager.onDestroy();
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        return plManager.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

Next set the view, before calling plManager.onCreate:

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        plManager = new PLManager(this);
        plManager.setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        plManager.onCreate();
    }

Finally add the panorama you want, for example;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        plManager = new PLManager(this);
        plManager.setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        plManager.onCreate();

        PLSphericalPanorama panorama = new PLSphericalPanorama();
        panorama.getCamera().lookAt(30.0f, 90.0f);

        panorama.setImage(new PLImage(PLUtils.getBitmap(this, R.raw.sighisoara_sphere), false));
        plManager.setPanorama(panorama);
    }

##ToDo

• Separate View, ViewController, TouchController and SensorController

##Done

• Activity removed as the base extended class. Now it can be used with AppCompatActivity or others.
