Not sure that I understand. Do you want to randomly choose a number out of a set of specific numbers?

Something like:

B4X:

Dim JORandom As JavaObject
    JORandom.InitializeStatic("java.lang.Math")
    Dim MinRange As BigDecimal
    Dim MaxRange As BigDecimal
    Dim Random As BigDecimal
    Dim Range As BigDecimal
    Dim Result As BigDecimal
    MinRange.Initialize("0.5")
    MaxRange.Initialize("2.5")
    Range = MaxRange.Subtract(MinRange)
    Random.Initialize(JORandom.RunMethod("random",Null))
    Result = MinRange.Add(Range.Multiply(Random)).Round(8,MinRange.ROUND_HALF_UP)
    Log(Result.ToPlainString)

This uses the BigNumbers library.
