How to cast Java.Lang.Object to some native type?

Example:

ListView adapter contains instances of native type Message. When i am trying to get SelectedItem from ListView it returns instance of Message type casted to Java.Lang.Object, but I can't find solution to cast Java.Lang.Object back to Message.

var message = (Message)list.SelectedItem;
// throws  Error    5   Cannot convert type 'Java.Lang.Object' to 'Message'

Please Help.

If for some reason GetChildAtPosition is not possible, serialise the object to json string and then deserialise the string back to native class.
