Ok so thanks to OceanLife for pointing me in the right direction! There was indeed a callback required and ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() did the trick. I ended up implementing the listener against my fragment class and picked it up where I needed it. Thanks for the warning too regarding the multiple calls, I resolved this using the removeOnGlobalLayoutListener() method - works a charm.

Code:

...

// vto initialised in my onCreateView() method

vto = getView().getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);

...

@Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {

        final int i[] = new int[2];
        final Rect scrollBounds = new Rect();

        sView.getHitRect(scrollBounds);
        tempView.getLocationOnScreen(i);

        if (i[1] >= scrollBounds.bottom) {
            sView.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    sView.smoothScrollTo(0, sView.getScrollY() + (i[1] - scrollBounds.bottom));
                }
            });
        }

        vto.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
    }

Just got to do some cleaning up now ...
