Access a Ruby class from Java reflection

Hi all!

This is for the Ruboto project, but may be helpful for other platforms
as well.

I am trying to access a Ruby subclass of a Java class
(android.app.Fragment) from an Android XML file. I assume that when the
XML is parsed, it uses Java reflection to access the Ruby class.

The tutorial for using fragments is here:

When we try to start the app, we get an exception:

I/System.out(13941): Exception creating activity: Binary XML file line
#3: Error inflating class fragment
I/System.out(13941):
android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:697)
I/System.out(13941):
android.view.LayoutInflater.rInflate(LayoutInflater.java:739)
I/System.out(13941):
android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:489)
I/System.out(13941):
android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:396)
I/System.out(13941):
android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:352)
I/System.out(13941):
com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.setContentView(PhoneWindow.java:251)
I/System.out(13941):
android.app.Activity.setContentView(Activity.java:1835)

The full stack trace is here: Stack trace when running https://github.com/ruboto/ruboto/wiki/Tutorial:-fragments Possibly missing a reference to the fragment class. · GitHub

We think the problem is that the Java class for the Ruby class is not
found.

We could of course create the fragments programmatically and set up the
layout programmatically, but we would like to investigate using XML for
layout.

The fragment class, TitlesFragment, is converted using
TitlesFragment.become_java!, and we try to access it with the name
RubyTitlesFragment or ruby.TitlesFragment. Is this the right way to do
it?
