This Code
B4X:
    Type TPDFPrint_PageSize(Width As Float, Height As Float)
    Type TPDFPrint_PageMargins(Left As Float, Top As Float, Right As Float, Bottom As Float, TopOfPage As Float, EndOfPage As Float)

#Region PDFDrawRectangle

            RealDraw.Initialize(RectToDraw.Left, RectToDraw.Top, RectToDraw.Right, RectToDraw.Bottom)

            If  RealDraw.Right = -1 Then
                RealDraw.Right = (mPageSize.Width - (mMargins.Right + RealDraw.Left))
            End If

The code looks fine and works GR8 under B4A


Also did not like this until I moved the string to a int
B4X:
                Dim SortedMatchup         As String  = SortedMatchups.Get(SortedMatchupsLoop)
                Dim SortedParsed()        As String  = Regex.Split("~", SortedMatchup)
                
                If  SortedParsed.Length <> 3 Or IsNumber(SortedParsed(2)) = False Then 
                    Continue
                End If
                 
#if B4A                 
                MatchupsLoop = SortedParsed(2)
#else if B4i
                Dim x As Int = SortedParsed(2)
                
                MatchupsLoop = x
#end if

Couldn't recreate in smaller or test project so shipped code off to Erel.

Hopefully he can figure out what Bozo mistake I did that is causing this.

OK, I wrote this TEST code to help figured out one of the compiler problems

This code
B4X:
            Dim Matchups        As List

            Dim SortedMatchups As List
           
            Matchups.Initialize
            SortedMatchups.Initialize

            For MatchupsLoop = 0 To Matchups.Size-1
                Log("Nothing - Just a test")
            Next
                       
  
            For SortedMatchupsLoop = 0 To SortedMatchups.Size-1
                Dim SortedMatchup         As String  = SortedMatchups.Get(SortedMatchupsLoop)
                Dim SortedParsed()        As String  = Regex.Split("~", SortedMatchup)
               
                If  SortedParsed.Length <> 3 Or IsNumber(SortedParsed(2)) = False Then
                    Continue
                End If
                
                MatchupsLoop = SortedParsed(2)                '    FixMe Compiler  Line would not compile in B4i
            Next

Get this error
B4i line: 131
MatchupsLoop = SortedParsed(2) ' FixMe Comp
shell\src\com\BOBs\Testing\b4i_b4xmainpage_subs_0.java:135: error: > expected
_matchupsloop = BA.ObjectToNumber(_sortedparsed.runMethod(true,"getObjectFast:", BA.numberCast(int.class, 2)).<NSString*>get()).intValue;Debug.locals.put("MatchupsLoop", _matchupsloop);

The REASON I found that this code is not working is because MatchupsLoop was defined within the for loop and I assume has gone out of scope. If I were to add a
B4X:
DIM MatchupsLoop as Int
before the for loop then I can use the MatchupsLoop inside the other SortedMatchupsLoop

AGAIN: The code above is just s snip-it of the code but allowed me to see the problem but can compiled as is to inside a a test program to cause the effect. Caught me doing something bad (that works perfectly find under B4A)

This compiles just fine
B4X:
            Dim Matchups        As List

            Dim SortedMatchups As List
           
            Dim MatchupsLoop  as Int

            Matchups.Initialize
            SortedMatchups.Initialize

            For MatchupsLoop = 0 To Matchups.Size-1
                Log("Nothing - Just a test")
            Next
                       
  
            For SortedMatchupsLoop = 0 To SortedMatchups.Size-1
                Dim SortedMatchup         As String  = SortedMatchups.Get(SortedMatchupsLoop)
                Dim SortedParsed()        As String  = Regex.Split("~", SortedMatchup)
               
                If  SortedParsed.Length <> 3 Or IsNumber(SortedParsed(2)) = False Then
                    Continue
                End If
                
                MatchupsLoop = SortedParsed(2)                '    FixMe Compiler  Line would not compile in B4i
            Next

Attached is a small program that does nothing but causes the 2nd compiler error I was having

B4i line: 83
RealDraw.Height = (mPageSize.Height - (mMargin
shell\src\com\BOBs\Testing\b4i_b4xmainpage_subs_0.java:140: error: unexpected type
_realdraw.runMethod(true,"Height") = BA.numberCast(float.class, (RemoteObject.solve(new RemoteObject[] {__ref.getField(false,"_mpagesize" /*RemoteObject*/ ).getField(true,"Height" /*RemoteObject*/ ),(RemoteObject.solve(new RemoteObject[] {__ref.getField(false,"_mmargins" /*RemoteObject*/ ).getField(true,"Bottom" /*RemoteObject*/ ),_realdraw.runMethod(true,"Top")}, "+",1, 0))}, "-",1, 0)));Debug.locals.put("RealDraw", _realdraw);
^
