[Shepway]

Hi, I need to move some apps from tablet/phone to RPI.
What is the process of converting B4a source code to RPI?

Thank you

Hi Erel, I'm developing in B4a, not B4j.
Apologies if i'm getting confused here.

A friend said I could just run Android on RPI

If you can install Android on it then it should not be different than any other device.

B4J is very similar to B4A. Though the Raspberry Pi is quite slow for UI applications.

hi, i don't understand why use pi and not a cheap android stick ? only maybe for the gpio ,but for that there is the ioioboard.

Its a good point Coslad.
The client wants to run native Linux orientated apps alongside the Android apps.

If you are going to use RPi, its better to use one of the linux distro for RPi, not android. To create apps for linux, you can use B4J, porting your B4A apps.
