Android Streetview - avoid indoor locations

Question

Is there any way to prevent the newly release Streetview for Android (as part of the Google Play Services SDK), from showing me indoor locations?

I want to set the position based on a LatLng and radius, but I only want outdoor locations.

Thanks,

Andy.

On March 20, 2018 Google finally announced that this feature was implemented.

When setting the position of a Street View Panorama, you can now provide a StreetViewSource allowing the search to be restricted to outdoor-only results. Note this feature is experimental and some searches may still include indoor panoramas. For details, see the guide to Street View.

The corresponding feature request in the public issue tracker was marked as fixed

StreetViewPanorama now supports the following methods

public void setPosition (LatLng position, StreetViewSource source)

public void setPosition (LatLng position, int radius, StreetViewSource source)

Have a look at the documentation to get more details:
