I would like to use `on-scroll` event, but not using the [`on-scroll` attribute](http://ionicframework.com/docs/api/directive/ionScroll/), is there someway to do this?

Something like:

```auto
$ionicScrollDelegate.$on('onScroll', function (data) {
  console.log(data.position.top); // etc...
});

```

Or using $scope…

```auto
$scope.$on('ionicView.onScroll', function (data) {
  console.log(data.position.top); // etc...
});

```

Thanks.

I solved this using:

```auto
$ionicScrollDelegate.getScrollView().onScroll = function () {
  console.log($ionicScrollDelegate.getScrollPosition());
});

```

Would be great if these function of `getScrollView()` as `onScroll` was documented.

Thanks 😃

unfortunately this has stopped working with I think 1.2.4. (works for sure with 1.1.1). it still works in desktop browser, but no longer on an android phone.

anyone got a solution?
