Has anyone else converted their Java apps to B4A?

I was wondering if anyone else has converted a java app to b4a. I'm finishing up on an app that I created for a company and I'm amazed at the savings of time and lines of code. My java code is just over 4K lines of code not counting white space which I guessed at. This also isn't counting the xml layout files and arrays and other def files. Writing it in Eclipse took me between 100 and 150 hours to code. My b4a program is only 1,350 lines of code and that is including white space..hours coding so far is approx 10 hours.

Now, with the original java code I did have to design the layouts which I didn't have to think up the second time around, but that would only add maybe 5 hours.

If you're wondering why I'm converting the app, it's because they are wanting to add some options and I believed I would be way ahead converting before starting on adding the options.

I also in the process of converting my Java app to b4A.
Admittedly, the app wasn't complete, but it was about 90% done, with about 4 weeks poured into it.
I started the conversion today, and am already about 30% done.
