Android: how to check if a View inside of ScrollView is visible?

I have a ScrollView which holds a series of Views. I would like to be able to determine if a view is currently visible (if any part of it is currently displayed by the ScrollView). I would expect the below code to do this, surprisingly it does not:

Rect bounds = new Rect();
view.getDrawingRect(bounds);

Rect scrollBounds = new Rect(scroll.getScrollX(), scroll.getScrollY(), 
        scroll.getScrollX() + scroll.getWidth(), scroll.getScrollY() + scroll.getHeight());

if(Rect.intersects(scrollBounds, bounds))
{
    //is  visible
}
