How to check if a position is valid in StreetView in Android?

I have an android app which needs to show streetview of a particular location. I have the latitude and longitude of the location. But how do I check if the position is valid and streetview is available?

There isn't a built-in way to do this in Android, but you can use the Google Street View API to check if a particular position has a valid Street View panorama. If the API returns a panorama ID, then you know that the position is valid. You can find more information about the API here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/

There is no built-in way to check if a position is valid in Street View. However, there are some workarounds that you can use.

One workaround is to use the Google Maps API to check if a position is valid. The Google Maps API has a method called getStreetView() that takes a LatLng object as a parameter. If a position is valid, this method will return a StreetViewPanorama object. If the position is not valid, the method will return null.

Another workaround is to use the Street View Image API. The Street View Image API has a method called getPanoramaByLocation() that takes a LatLng object as a parameter. If a position is valid, this method will return a StreetViewPanoramaData object. If the position is not valid, the method will return null.

You can also use the Street View Static API to check if a position is valid. The Street View Static API has a method called getPanorama() that takes a LatLng object as a parameter. If a position is valid, this method will return a StreetViewPanorama object. If the position is not valid, the method will return null.
