Android Question registerListener with maxReportLatencyUs

Hi,
I need to set maxreportlatencyus when registering a sensor reading
The android has the following:
boolean registerListener (SensorEventListener listener,
Sensor sensor,
int samplingPeriodUs,
int maxReportLatencyUs)
How can I use it with the PhoneSensors object? if not, what do you propose?
Thank you in advance

It cannot be changed in PhoneSensors library. You can change the rate with PhoneSensors.Initialize2.
I care about "samplingPeriodUs" but I want to set also the "maxReportLatencyUs" to reduce the the power consumption associated with the sensor.
It is about a pedometer. Can you please give us an example?

I understood that.
Can you please give us an other way? Is it possible to be changed in an future update of PhoneSensors library?

Is it possible to use the b4a's phonesensors library and set the maxReportLatencyUs in an other way, through javaobject library?
Anyone can help?

Implementation of Phone Sensors with JavaObject:

Put this code in the starter service:
B4X:
Sub Process_Globals
   Private SensorManager As JavaObject
   Private Listeners As Map
   Private StaticSensor As JavaObject
   Private SensorToString As Map
   Private hash As Int
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
   Dim ctxt As JavaObject
   ctxt.InitializeContext
   SensorManager = ctxt.RunMethodJO("getSystemService", Array("sensor"))
   StaticSensor.InitializeStatic("android.hardware.Sensor")
   Listeners.Initialize
   SensorToString.Initialize
   Log(StartListening("LINEAR_ACCELERATION", 3, 500))
   Log(StartListening("LIGHT", 3, 500))
End Sub

'Sampling period: 3 - DELAY_NORMAL, DELAY_UI - 2, 1 - DELAY_GAME, 0 - DELAY_FASTEST
Public Sub StartListening (Sensor As String, SamplingPeriod As Int , MaxReportLatencyUs As Int) As Boolean
   StopListening (Sensor)
   hash = hash + 1
   Dim Listener As Object = SensorManager.CreateEventFromUI("android.hardware.SensorEventListener", "Listener", hash)
   Listeners.Put(Sensor, Listener)
   Dim s As JavaObject = SensorManager.RunMethod("getDefaultSensor", Array(StaticSensor.GetField("TYPE_" & Sensor)))
   If s = Null Then Return False
   SensorToString.Put(s, Sensor)
   Dim p As Phone
   If p.SdkVersion >= 19 Then
       Return SensorManager.RunMethod("registerListener", Array(Listener, s, SamplingPeriod, MaxReportLatencyUs))
   Else
       Return SensorManager.RunMethod("registerListener", Array(Listener, s, SamplingPeriod))
   End If
End Sub

Private Sub Listener_Event (MethodName As String, Args() As Object) As Object
   If MethodName = "onSensorChanged" Then
       Dim event As JavaObject = Args(0)
       Dim sensor As String = SensorToString.Get(event.GetField("sensor"))
       Dim values() As Float = event.GetField("values")
       'log it with:
       Dim l As List = values
       Log($"${sensor}: ${l}"$)
   End If
   Return Null
End Sub

Public Sub StopListening (Sensor As String)
   If Listeners.ContainsKey(Sensor) Then
       Dim listener As Object = Listeners.Get(Sensor)       
       SensorManager.RunMethod("unregisterListener", Array(listener))
       Listeners.Remove(Sensor)
   End If
End Sub

It wasn't tested too much...
