How Cast(Convert) Java.Lang.Object derived to C# object

Question

Hi. I'm going to use Microsoft SignalR with Xamarin.Android. so I need to setup 3 projects;
-Web Application(as Server)
-Xamarin.Android( as Client)
-Shared Project (containing Models)
suppose we have a simple POCO C# class which is shared between projects(Web Application , Blazor, Xamarin.Android)
in many scenarios in Xamarin.Android (like overridden functions or events) the passed arguments to the function is a Java.lang.object. I want to know how I can cast Java.lang.object parameter to my POCO shared object(object derived).
If I inherit the POCO shared class from Object :
1-I can not use it in many methods in Xamarin.Android (like RecyclerView.Adapter ,...)
if the POCO shared class inherits from Java.lang.object , then :
1-I can not use it as shared between different dotnet projects
2-the dotnet json serializer doesn't work.
Thanks.
Example:
public class PocoClass
{
public int Id {get;set;}
public string UserName {get;set;}
public string LastName {get;set;}
}

Hello,

You could refer to the following file, it contains code for casting Java.Lang.Object to C# object.

Usage example:

POCO poco = ObjectTypeHelper.Cast<POCO>(obj);
