Hope the following below helps:

public class YourActivity extends Activity implements ConnectionCallbacks,
        OnConnectionFailedListener {

private GoogleApiClient gacClient;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    gacClient= new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this, this, this)
            .addApi(Panorama.API)
            .build();
}

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    gacClient.connect();
}

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM/Camera/PANO_20131209_130755.jpg");

    Panorama.PanoramaApi.loadPanoramaInfo(gacClient, uri).setResultCallback(
            new ResultCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onResult(PanoramaResult result) {
            Intent i;
            if (result.getStatus().isSuccess() && (i = result.getViewerIntent()) != null) {
                startActivity(i);
            } else {
                // Handle unsuccessful result
            }
        }
    });
}

@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int cause) {
    // Handle connection being suspended
}

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult status) {
    // Handle connection failure.
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    gacClient.disconnect();
}
}

Below is a link and example of library to use PhotoSphere without Google+:

https://github.com/kennydude/photosphere

Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SphereViewer.class);
                i.setData(Uri.parse("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM/Camera/PANO_20131209_130755.jpg"));
                startActivity(i);

PhotoSphere uses gyroscope and not accelerometer, however I am sure you can use the second solution and add your own accelerometer functionality.
