            if (count == 0 && numberOfChars > 1) {
                count++;

                count++;

}

给定一些字符（AllCharacters），您可以随机选择字符串中的一个字符。然后使用for循环重复获取随机字符。

public class MyProgram {
  static String getRandomString(int size) {
      String AllCharacters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(size);
      int length = AllCharacters.length();
      for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
          sb.append(AllCharacters.charAt((int)(length * Math.random())));
      }
      return sb.toString();
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println(MyProgram.getRandomString(30));
  }
}

在沙盒上试试另请参阅其他语言实现随机字符串生成器

static final String AB = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
static SecureRandom rnd = new SecureRandom();

String randomString(int len){
   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(len);
   for(int i = 0; i < len; i++)
      sb.append(AB.charAt(rnd.nextInt(AB.length())));
   return sb.toString();
}

此外，您可以通过ASCII表中的数据生成任何小写或大写字母，甚至特殊字符。例如，生成从A（DEC 65）到Z（DEC 90）的大写字母：

String generateRandomStr(int min, int max, int size) {
    String result = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        result += String.valueOf((char)(new Random().nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min));
    }
    return result;
}

generateRandomStr（65、90、100）的生成输出；：

Java 8中的另一种选择是：

static final Random random = new Random(); // Or SecureRandom
static final int startChar = (int) '!';
static final int endChar = (int) '~';

static String randomString(final int maxLength) {
  final int length = random.nextInt(maxLength + 1);
  return random.ints(length, startChar, endChar + 1)
        .collect(StringBuilder::new, StringBuilder::appendCodePoint, StringBuilder::append)
        .toString();
}

您提到“简单”，但如果其他人正在寻找符合更严格安全要求的产品，您可能需要看看jpwgen。jpwgen在Unix中以pwgen为模型，非常可配置。
