What is the value of passed variable ... dataTimeStamp ?

B4X:
Dim dataTempo() As String  = Regex.Split(" ", dataTimeStamp)
my guess is dataTempo only recieved on value ... so trying to parse the value of dataTempo(1) causes error.

Why are you setting DateFormat twice ?

it appears you just passing a Date Time string and returning another with a different time format ?



*ps Add some logs to you above code and test outputs to see what is going wrong !!!

Your code is working fine here. As you are spliting the given value with space delimiter, it is better to check if the given value has a space or not before using.
B4X:
Sub Timestamp_Brasileiro(dataTimeStamp As String) As String
    If Not(dataTimeStamp.Contains(" ")) Then Return "Invalid Format" 'just check if the given value has space or not
 
    DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy" : DateTime.TimeFormat = "HH:mm:ss"
    Dim dataTempo() As String  = Regex.Split(" ", dataTimeStamp)
    Private ltempo As Long = DateTime.DateTimeParse(dataTempo(0),dataTempo(1))
    DateTime.DateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy" : DateTime.TimeFormat = "HH:mm"
    Return DateTime.Date(ltempo) & " " & DateTime.Time(ltempo)
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Log(Timestamp_Brasileiro("10/02/2019 20:33:12"))
End Sub

But as you just want to remove second from the datetime string, you can do this using substring,
B4X:
Sub Timestamp_Brasileiro(dataTimeStamp As String) As String
    Return dataTimeStamp.SubString2(0,dataTimeStamp.Length - 3)
End Sub

I think your error message is not related to the date/time, but to this component:
