You'll need to create a wrapper object:

	class Holder<T> : Java.Lang.Object {
		public readonly T Value;

		public Holder (T value)
		{
			this.Value = value;
		}
	}

Then create a new instance when invoking Java code:

	view.Tag = new Holder<LibraryType>(value);
	LibraryType taggedValue = ((Holder<LibraryType>) view.Tag).Value;
