Solved so:
B4X: 
    Dim components() As String
'   components = Regex.Split("", "1234")
    components = Regex.Split("(?<=.)", "1234")
    Log("Length: " & components.Length)
    For i = 0 To components.Length - 1
        Log("Component " & components(i))
    Next
But who solved it that way? ChatGPT ?

Yes, same code, different behaviors.
It depends on the android version.
on a device ( all real device ) with:
Android 8 I have the 5 values (wrong)
Android 11 is fixed
Android 13 is fixed

Found the answer on stackoverflow. The behavior when dealing with an empty String pattern has changed between Java 7 and Java 8. Depending on the version of Android, you may be dealing with Java 6, 7 or 8. This has nothing to do with the with the JDK you use in B4A to generate you APK, but with the Java implemented within Android.

This is the expected behavior for String#split for Java version up to 7 and has been changed in Java 8: Why in Java 8 split sometimes removes empty strings at start of result array?
