Android Question B4a to java

[giggetto71]

I know it may sound silly but i may need to port one of my b4a apps to java (eclipse). Any automatic way to do that or tips?
Thanks

It's already done. Look in your <Project>/Objects/src directory to see the package structure and .java files.

Are you sure it is so easy?

I remember negative answers about this topic; probably mainly with reference to the layouts

 

[Roycefer]

It definitely won't be easy. The Java code produced by the B4A transpiler will require a lot of patience to read. And yes, as you mentioned, modifying layouts will be very tedious.

A converter B4A --> Java-Eclipse would be the best gift that Erel could do to us.

I think it is "almost" impossible, but it would be gold!

 

[Roycefer]

Why do you think it would be gold? I think it's, at best, tin or aluminum. The whole point of B4A is to free the developer from having to write in Java and hand-edit XML files. I'm not sure I see what value such a converter would add to the B4A developer's workflow, apart from the rare case similar to the original poster's.

You could directly give your work to people which use only Java and Eclipse.
