LocationClient get location updates by distance

Question

I am using a `LocationClient` for retrieving the current user location, and i'm trying to create a `LocationRequest` with a distance value as well as the update interval. My code currently requests location updates by update interval: ``` mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create(); mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY); mLocationRequest.setInterval(updateInterval); mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL); if (mLocationClient.isConnected()) { mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this); } ``` In the `LocationManager` there is a method to request location updates by distance `public void requestLocationUpdates (String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener)`

Accepted Answer

You can use setSmallestDisplacement to set the smallest distance traveled between updates in meters. Just add this to your code.

mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(SMALLEST_DISPLACEMENT);
