Why you did not use SensorEvent.timestamp? #77

ftabashir commented 4 years ago

In KalmanLocationService.onSensorChanged elapsed nanos was retrieved like this:

long now = android.os.SystemClock.elapsedRealtimeNanos();

While we have it already in SensorEvent.timestamp.

Is there any issue in using SensorEvent.timestamp which you avoid to use?

Yes. I'm not sure why, but seems, like those events use different clock sources. I wanted to be sure, that we use same clock source for each event type.
