How to display a MapView and a StreetView simultaneously?

Question

I want to display a MapView that may be used to select a point to be displayed by StreetView in a separate area. I know that the API disallows multiple MapViews in a single

You can load 360 degree panoramic Google street-view in your WebView.

Try following activity in which both google-street-view and google-map can be navigated simultaneously in single Activity :

public class StreetViewActivity extends Activity {

    private WebView webView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mappingWidgets();
    }

    private void mappingWidgets() {

        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
        webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);  


        // If you want to load it from assets (you can customize it if you want)
        //Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/streetviewscript.html");

        // If you want to load it directly
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/full/streetview-simple");
        webView.loadUrl(uri.toString());
    }
}

You can place this as static HTML page in assets folder of your application and then you can modify it's java-script according to your needs using Google street-view API.

Here I am posting sample streetviewscript.html that you can put in assets folder of your application and customize it according to your needs :

Edit : For simultaneously navigating two street views, load following HTML from assets :
