How to get Java class from C# type?

Java.Lang.Class has a special method for managed types:

Java	C# (Xamarin.Android)
ClickableSpan.class	Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(ClickableSpan))

can be implemented via extension:

public static class JavaLangExtensions
{
    public static Java.Lang.Class GetClass(this Java.Lang.Object obj)
    {
        return Java.Lang.Class.FromType(obj.GetType());
    }
}
