Why don't we run a Linux android distribution?

Flance

Is there a possibility we can run Linux as its mains?

SanderK

If you want to run Linux, why don't you use Raspbian?

Flance

Don’t forget then you won’t be able to use all and other things that andoirds support

IKS

Sorry, I don't understand your question. There is the Linux kernel in Android. If its not sufficient for your needs, use Raspbian. What exactly are you asking for?

What im trying to really get out of this is the Java API for the GPIO Pins.

Why don't you use sysfs? You can open/read/write/close gpio class in your Java app.

@Flance, since I've answered here, I've removed your GPIO-related question in the other thread.

Flance

I’m unable to access sysfs I usually end with an error like permission denied. If you able to guide me through that would be great.

(Edit) I’m trying to access sysfs to use a GPIO touchscreen

Well, set the correct permissions on the required files with "chmod" then. Use ADB or SSH for shell access.
