I was reading this post
And i see that the author "wrapped" an existing program, probably originally written for Andorid Studio

Erel also created a nice tool that once, that once you have converted the original java file(s) to a java file(s) designed to work on B4A, this tool helps developers build B4A libraries.

The purpose of Simple Library Compiler (SLC) is to make it easier to build libraries. SLC is responsible for taking the Java source code files and generating the Jar and XML files. As I see it, it can be useful in two cases: - Creating wrappers for 3rd party SDKs. - Modifying and extending...

Additional you can use JavaObject

Accessing third party Jar with #Additionaljar and JavaObject - Picasso

The #AdditionalJar module attribute (introduced in B4A v3.80) allows us to reference external jars. With the help of JavaObject it is now possible to integrate third party jars without a wrapper. This solution is good for "simple" libraries. If the API is complicated with many interfaces then...

Erel's plans are secret, and I'm the last person he'd confide them to

Jokes aside, others have also told you that there's no single method, and I can confirm that if there were, some B4X member would have already created a tool to simplify these operations. But there's no single method.
