Here you can use my method for generating Random String
protected String getSaltString() {
String SALTCHARS = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890";
StringBuilder salt = new StringBuilder();
Random rnd = new Random();
while (salt.length() < 18) { // length of the random string.
int index = (int) (rnd.nextFloat() * SALTCHARS.length());
salt.append(SALTCHARS.charAt(index));
}
String saltStr = salt.toString();
return saltStr;
}
The above method from my bag using to generate a salt string for login purpose.
