LocationClient get location updates by distance

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)

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

mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(SMALLEST_DISPLACEMENT);
