How to get My Location changed event with Google Maps android API v2?

In v1 you can do the next in order to handle location changed event:

I encountered the same problem... my solution by now:

Create a Thread, that asks a Handler to get the position a few times. You need to use a Handler, because the getMyLocation method can only be called from GUI Thread:

private class MyLocationThread extends Thread{
        @Override
        public void run() {
            int loops = 0;
            // we give the location search a minute 
            while(loops < 60){
                // we have to try it over a handler, because getMyLocation() has to be called from GUI Thread -_-
                _getMyLocationHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
                if(isInterrupted()){
                    return;
                }
                // take a short nap before next try
                try {Thread.sleep(1000);} catch(Exception e){}
                loops++;
            }

        }
    }

Here's what the Handler does:

private Handler _getMyLocationHandler = new Handler(){
        public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
            if(getMap().isMyLocationEnabled() && getMap().getMyLocation() != null){
                _locationWatcher.interrupt();
                drawCurrentImagePositions();
            }
        }
    };
