Also can this be done using OpenGL or we need to use Unity for this? – Rigorism

On Android Native Cardboard app development, you can use Android Cardboard SDK and Android Studio as IDE is recommended. However you might need to learn OpenGL ES SDK and things like GLSurfaceView. By using Unity+Cardboard SDK to develop VR apps, you don't have to worry on how to draw/ render your image/3D objects since it is made for game development. – Paralipomena

Have a look at this example application: https://github.com/ejeinc/RajawaliCardboardExample

It is using the Rajawali framework for the OpenGL stuff. This makes things really easy. https://github.com/Rajawali/Rajawali
