how to convert system type (C sharp) to java lang class

Question

I am trying to use Java library inside Xamarin project through binding. I need to pass a C sharp class type as a parameter to a Java method.

typeof() method in C sharp doesn't work because the compiler compilations

Cannot implicitly convert type "System.Type" to "Java.Lang.Class"

Is there any way to convert it correctly?

Answer 1

Try to use Java.Lang.Class.FromType(Type) in Xamarin.

For example, your C sharp class could be Car

then call it as Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Car)) in Xamarin
