Street view on Google Maps?

I try to offer 3 display modes to users of my app:

Traffic View (the standard view as on every printed map) Satellite View (aerial) and StreetView (3D, as done with the infamous Google Car)

I can set 'Standard' traffic view with

            mapView.setSatellite(false);
            mapView.setTraffic(true);

Satellite view with 

            mapView.setSatellite(true);

but 

            mapView.setStreetView(true);

doesn't do anything, even if I can get StreetView at the location checking with maps.google.com and a followup check for mapView.isStreetView() returns TRUE.

Can anyone help me out?

setStreetView(true) should load a tile set showing streets where StreetView data is available. It will not, however, actually display StreetView itself -- that is a separate application. You can launch StreetView, for devices that have it, for a given location by using a specific Intent structure. However, you cannot embed StreetView in your own app at this time.
