你应该使用Collections.shuffle()。但是，不能直接操作原始类型数组，因此需要创建包装器类。

试试这个。

public static void shuffle(int[] array) {
    Collections.shuffle(new AbstractList<Integer>() {
        @Override public Integer get(int index) { return array[index]; }
        @Override public int size() { return array.length; }
        @Override public Integer set(int index, Integer element) {
            int result = array[index];
            array[index] = element;
            return result;
        }
    });
}

And

int[] solutionArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1};
shuffle(solutionArray);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(solutionArray));

输出:

[3, 3, 4, 1, 6, 2, 2, 1, 5, 6, 5, 4]

这是knuth shuffle算法。

public class Knuth { 

    // this class should not be instantiated
    private Knuth() { }

    /**
     * Rearranges an array of objects in uniformly random order
     * (under the assumption that <tt>Math.random()</tt> generates independent
     * and uniformly distributed numbers between 0 and 1).
     * @param a the array to be shuffled
     */
    public static void shuffle(Object[] a) {
        int n = a.length;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            // choose index uniformly in [i, n-1]
            int r = i + (int) (Math.random() * (n - i));
            Object swap = a[r];
            a[r] = a[i];
            a[i] = swap;
        }
    }

    /**
     * Reads in a sequence of strings from standard input, shuffles
     * them, and prints out the results.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // read in the data
        String[] a = StdIn.readAllStrings();

        // shuffle the array
        Knuth.shuffle(a);

        // print results.
        for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
            StdOut.println(a[i]);
    }
}

Collections类有一个有效的洗牌方法，可以复制，这样就不依赖于它:

/**
 * Usage:
 *    int[] array = {1, 2, 3};
 *    Util.shuffle(array);
 */
public class Util {

    private static Random random;

    /**
     * Code from method java.util.Collections.shuffle();
     */
    public static void shuffle(int[] array) {
        if (random == null) random = new Random();
        int count = array.length;
        for (int i = count; i > 1; i--) {
            swap(array, i - 1, random.nextInt(i));
        }
    }

    private static void swap(int[] array, int i, int j) {
        int temp = array[i];
        array[i] = array[j];
        array[j] = temp;
    }
}

下面是数组的泛型版本:

import java.util.Random;

public class Shuffle<T> {

    private final Random rnd;

    public Shuffle() {
        rnd = new Random();
    }

    /**
     * Fisher–Yates shuffle.
     */
    public void shuffle(T[] ar) {
        for (int i = ar.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
            int index = rnd.nextInt(i + 1);
            T a = ar[index];
            ar[index] = ar[i];
            ar[i] = a;
        }
    }
}

考虑到ArrayList基本上只是一个数组，使用ArrayList而不是显式数组并使用Collections.shuffle()可能是明智的。但是，性能测试并没有显示上述方法与Collections.sort()之间有任何显著差异:

Shuffe<Integer>.shuffle(...) performance: 576084 shuffles per second
Collections.shuffle(ArrayList<Integer>) performance: 629400 shuffles per second
MathArrays.shuffle(int[]) performance: 53062 shuffles per second

Apache Commons实现MathArrays。Shuffle限制为int[]，性能损失可能是由于使用了随机数生成器。

最简单的解决方案，这种随机洗牌数组。

String location[] = {"delhi","banglore","mathura","lucknow","chandigarh","mumbai"};
int index;
String temp;
Random random = new Random();
for(int i=1;i<location.length;i++)
{
    index = random.nextInt(i+1);
    temp = location[index];
    location[index] = location[i];
    location[i] = temp;
    System.out.println("Location Based On Random Values :"+location[i]);
}

Groovy的一个简单解决方案:

solutionArray.sort{ new Random().nextInt() }

这将对数组列表中的所有元素进行随机排序，存档所有元素洗牌的预期结果。
