Android gps how to skip distance?

I am working on a GPS-enabled application and I need to record a point each N meters. However, I can't see how I can use onLocationChanged() method in the LocationListener or any other method/class. The onLocationChanged() method gives a point each second, and I need to store each N-meter point.

I believe that this has a simple solution, but since I am beginner in Android, cant find it.

Any help will be much appreciated.

In onLocationChanged, compare the location you get with the last one you stored. If it's less than n meters, discard it. If not, store it. Rinse. Repeat.

EDIT: Wait, even easier - doesn't requestLocationUpdates have a minDistance parameter? See here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#requestLocationUpdates

requestLocationUpdates has a minDistance parameter, that if I recall correctly does what you want. I haven't been able to test this on a real phone though, so I don't know how accurate it is.
