Xamarin C# alternative toGetParcelableExtra(String name) which has been deprecated

Question

I have this code for NFC tags:

protected override void OnNewIntent(Intent intent)	// NFC tag discovered  
{  
	String action = intent.Action;  
        Tag tag = (Tag)intent.GetParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.ExtraTag);  
        etc.  

The Visual Studio compiler tells me that GetParcelableExtra(string) has been deprecated. Java docs tell me:

This method was deprecated in API level 33.
Use the type-safer getParcelableExtra(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class) starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES#TIRAMISU.

which is: public T getParcelableExtra (String name, Class<T> clazz)

But there are no samples for C#. And there is really no C# equivalent for Class<T>. There is typeof, and I saw some posts on this, but I couldn't figure out a decent way to use this new method in C#. Is there a sample for this method that will help? Thanks.

Hello,

And there is really no C# equivalent for Class<T>. There is typeof, and I saw some posts on this, but I couldn't figure out a decent way to use this new method in C#. Is there a sample for this >method that will help?

Please try to use Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Tag)) to convert from 'System.Type' to 'Java.Lang.Class' like following code.

   Tag tag = (Tag)intent.GetParcelableExtra(NfcAdapter.ExtraTag,Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Tag)));  

Best Regards,
