java - Filter location updates when using LocationManager requestLocationUpdates method -

i ios developer learning android, please bear me. on ios when getting location updates have sure filter , throw out invalid locations. check things outdated locations based on timestamp, inaccurate locations, etc.

is there preferred way on android or needed? far checking location got not nil:

// other code start locationmanager ...  @override  public void onlocationchanged(location location)  {     if (location != null)     {          // stuff here      }  } 

it's not needed. however, encourage @ new location services apis offered in google play services (http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/location.html)
