这里是一个基于流的Java8解决方案。

    public String generateString(String alphabet, int length) {
        return generateString(alphabet, length, new SecureRandom()::nextInt);
    }

    // nextInt = bound -> n in [0, bound)
    public String generateString(String source, int length, IntFunction<Integer> nextInt) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        IntStream.generate(source::length)
                .boxed()
                .limit(length)
                .map(nextInt::apply)
                .map(source::charAt)
                .forEach(sb::append);

        return sb.toString();
    }

像这样使用

String alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
int length = 12;
String generated = generateString(alphabet, length);
System.out.println(generated);

函数nextInt应该接受一个int绑定，并返回一个介于0和绑定-1之间的随机数。

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();
}

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();
}

这里是Java语言：

import static java.lang.Math.round;
import static java.lang.Math.random;
import static java.lang.Math.pow;
import static java.lang.Math.abs;
import static java.lang.Math.min;
import static org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.leftPad

public class RandomAlphaNum {
  public static String gen(int length) {
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = length; i > 0; i -= 12) {
      int n = min(12, abs(i));
      sb.append(leftPad(Long.toString(round(random() * pow(36, n)), 36), n, '0'));
    }
    return sb.toString();
  }
}

下面是一个运行示例：

scala> RandomAlphaNum.gen(42)
res3: java.lang.String = uja6snx21bswf9t89s00bxssu8g6qlu16ffzqaxxoy

我使用的是一个非常简单的Java8解决方案。只需根据您的需求进行定制。

...
import java.security.SecureRandom;
...

//Generate a random String of length between 10 to 20.
//Length is also randomly generated here.
SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();

String sampleSet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_";

int stringLength = random.ints(1, 10, 21).mapToObj(x -> x).reduce((a, b) -> a).get();

String randomString = random.ints(stringLength, 0, sampleSet.length() - 1)
        .mapToObj(x -> sampleSet.charAt(x))
        .collect(Collector
            .of(StringBuilder::new, StringBuilder::append,
                StringBuilder::append, StringBuilder::toString));

我们可以使用它生成如下的字母数字随机字符串（返回的字符串将强制包含一些非数字字符以及一些数字字符）：

public String generateRandomString() {
            
    String sampleSet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_";
    String sampleSetNumeric = "0123456789";
    
    String randomString = getRandomString(sampleSet, 10, 21);
    String randomStringNumeric = getRandomString(sampleSetNumeric, 10, 21);
    
    randomString = randomString + randomStringNumeric;
    
    //Convert String to List<Character>
    List<Character> list = randomString.chars()
            .mapToObj(x -> (char)x)
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
    
    Collections.shuffle(list);
    
    //This is needed to force a non-numeric character as the first String
    //Skip this for() if you don't need this logic

    for(;;) {
        if(Character.isDigit(list.get(0))) Collections.shuffle(list);
        else break;
    }
    
    //Convert List<Character> to String
    randomString = list.stream()
            .map(String::valueOf)
            .collect(Collectors.joining());
    
    return randomString;
    
}

//Generate a random number between the lower bound (inclusive) and upper bound (exclusive)
private int getRandomLength(int min, int max) {
    SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();
    return random.ints(1, min, max).mapToObj(x -> x).reduce((a, b) -> a).get();
}

//Generate a random String from the given sample string, having a random length between the lower bound (inclusive) and upper bound (exclusive)
private String getRandomString(String sampleSet, int min, int max) {
    SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();
    return random.ints(getRandomLength(min, max), 0, sampleSet.length() - 1)
    .mapToObj(x -> sampleSet.charAt(x))
    .collect(Collector
        .of(StringBuilder::new, StringBuilder::append,
            StringBuilder::append, StringBuilder::toString));
}

public static String getRandomString(int length)
{
    String randomStr = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
    while(randomStr.length() < length) {
        randomStr += UUID.randomUUID().toString();
    }
    return randomStr.substring(0, length);
}
