Android random string generator

the problem is that you’ve handled only a single character instead of using a loop.

you can create an array of characters which has all of the characters that you wish to allow to be in the random string , then in a loop take a random position from the array and add append it to a stringBuilder . in the end , convert the stringBuilder to a string.

EDIT:
here’s the simple algorithm i’ve suggested:

private static final String ALLOWED_CHARACTERS ="0123456789qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm";

private static String getRandomString(final int sizeOfRandomString)
  {
  final Random random=new Random();
  final StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder(sizeOfRandomString);
  for(int i=0;i<sizeOfRandomString;++i)
    sb.append(ALLOWED_CHARACTERS.charAt(random.nextInt(ALLOWED_CHARACTERS.length())));
  return sb.toString();
  }

and on Kotlin:

companion object {
    private val ALLOWED_CHARACTERS = "0123456789qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm"
}

private fun getRandomString(sizeOfRandomString: Int): String {
    val random = Random()
    val sb = StringBuilder(sizeOfRandomString)
    for (i in 0 until sizeOfRandomString)
        sb.append(ALLOWED_CHARACTERS[random.nextInt(ALLOWED_CHARACTERS.length)])
    return sb.toString()
}
