Hello,
is that possible in B4A, without using any web services, just with some computation, to generate a short link that will be recognized on the web ?
Or it is not a formula and just a random sequence generated on the fly throught the web service (tinyurl, goo.gl etc ?)

You could perhaps pre-create a bunch of short-cuts with pre-defined names that would connect to predictable longer URLs that you might be generating in your app. TinyUrl (and probably others as well) allow you to specify the short URL that you want (provided that it has not been issued already).
