Attempt to invoke virtual method 'getStreetViewPanoramaAsync' crashes the app

Question

I am trying to use Google's StreetView Image API in my app and use it withing a FragmentPageAdapter. I used the streetview api within a single activity and it was working fine but when I tried 'switched' to a 3 fragment fragmentPagerAdapter as soon as I tap on the StreetViewPanoramaFragment fragment the app crashes with the followig:

Theme: themes:{}
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.android.gms.maps.StreetViewPanoramaFragment.getStreetViewPanoramaAsync(com.google.android.gms.maps.OnStreetViewPanoramaReadyCallback)' on a null object reference

This is my "StreetViewFragment"

public class StreetViewFragment extends Fragment implements OnStreetViewPanoramaReadyCallback {
private StreetViewPanoramaFragment streetViewPanoramaFragment;


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

}

//Overriden method onCreateView
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    StreetViewPanoramaFragment streetViewPanoramaFragment = (StreetViewPanoramaFragment) getActivity().getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.streetviewpanorama);
    streetViewPanoramaFragment.getStreetViewPanoramaAsync(this);
    //Returning the layout file after inflating
    //Change R.layout.tab1 in you classes
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.street_virew_fragment_layout, container, false);
}

@Override
public void onStreetViewPanoramaReady(StreetViewPanorama streetViewPanorama) {
    streetViewPanorama.setPosition(new LatLng(-33.87365, 151.20689));
}
}

'street_virew_fragment_layout'xml:
