How to open camera directly in panorama/photosphere mode?

I am stuck in a problem in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

How can I open camera from my application, by default in panorama/360 photosphere mode?

I have searched a lot in grepcode and also Camera.Parameters, but nothing seems to help. Does anybody have any clues to open camera in panorama mode apart from video and image?

 Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA);
    startActivity(intent);

I am also looking to open photosphere camera in my application or at least show photosphere option in normal camera.I searched lot but i didn't find any solution.

I think we don't have any solution to open photosphere camera.We need wait for next Android API release.

there is no standard way to do it. AFAIK Panorama, Photoshere are proprietary features of Gallery3d (provided by Google) package com.google.android.gallery3d. It's depends on firmware of the device.

in ApplicationManifest.xml

<activity clearTaskOnLaunch="true" screenOrientation="0" name="com.google.android.apps.lightcycle.ProtectedPanoramaCaptureActivity" theme="resource_id:0x1030007" configChanges="1184" label="resource_id:0x7f0a00b2" windowSoftInputMode="35" taskAffinity="com.google.android.camera">
<intent-filter>
<action name="android.intent.action.MAIN">
</action>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

I've tried to start this activity from my application

    Intent res = new Intent();
    String mPackage = "com.google.android.gallery3d";
    String mClass = "com.google.android.apps.lightcycle.ProtectedPanoramaCaptureActivity";

    res.setComponent(new ComponentName(mPackage,mClass));
    startActivity(res);

but it throws NullPointerException in camera app.
