Android is based on Linux but Google made a mass of changes and programming for the two OS is very different. Originally, most Android apps were written in a modified version of Java while the programming language of choice is now Kotlin. A non-trivial C/C++/C# program is not easily portable between the two.
One friend of mine works for a company that uses both Android and Linux on their building control systems. A lot of the time, they claim that porting between the 2 OS is more of a total rewrite than a port.
