我们可以使用UUID在java中创建一个唯一的ID，并调用UUID上的randomUUID()方法。

String uniqueID = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

这将生成一个随机的uniqueID，其返回类型为String。

以下是我的两美分价值:我之前实现了一个IdFactory类，它创建的id格式为[主机名]-[应用程序启动时间]-[当前时间]-[鉴别器]。这在很大程度上保证了id在JVM实例中是唯一的，同时保持id可读(尽管相当长)。以下是代码，以防它有任何用处:

public class IdFactoryImpl implements IdFactory {
  private final String hostName;
  private final long creationTimeMillis;
  private long lastTimeMillis;
  private long discriminator;

  public IdFactoryImpl() throws UnknownHostException {
    this.hostName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
    this.creationTimeMillis = System.currentTimeMillis();
    this.lastTimeMillis = creationTimeMillis;
  }

  public synchronized Serializable createId() {
    String id;
    long now = System.currentTimeMillis();

    if (now == lastTimeMillis) {
      ++discriminator;
    } else {
      discriminator = 0;
    }

    // creationTimeMillis used to prevent multiple instances of the JVM
    // running on the same host returning clashing IDs.
    // The only way a clash could occur is if the applications started at
    // exactly the same time.
    id = String.format("%s-%d-%d-%d", hostName, creationTimeMillis, now, discriminator);
    lastTimeMillis = now;

    return id;
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {
    IdFactory fact = new IdFactoryImpl();

    for (int i=0; i<1000; ++i) {
      System.err.println(fact.createId());
    }
  }
}

具有计数信息的唯一ID

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong;

public class RandomIdUtils {

    private static AtomicLong atomicCounter = new AtomicLong();

    public static String createId() {

        String currentCounter = String.valueOf(atomicCounter.getAndIncrement());
        String uniqueId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

        return uniqueId + "-" + currentCounter;
    }
}

java.util.UUID: toString()

恕我直言，aperkins提供了一个优雅的解决方案，因为它是原生的，使用的代码更少。 但是如果你需要一个更短的ID，你可以使用这个方法来减少生成的字符串长度:

// usage: GenerateShortUUID.next();
import java.util.UUID;

public class GenerateShortUUID() {

  private GenerateShortUUID() { } // singleton

  public static String next() {
     UUID u = UUID.randomUUID();
     return toIDString(u.getMostSignificantBits()) + toIDString(u.getLeastSignificantBits());
  }

  private static String toIDString(long i) {
      char[] buf = new char[32];
      int z = 64; // 1 << 6;
      int cp = 32;
      long b = z - 1;
      do {
          buf[--cp] = DIGITS66[(int)(i & b)];
          i >>>= 6;
      } while (i != 0);
      return new String(buf, cp, (32-cp));
  }

 // array de 64+2 digitos 
 private final static char[] DIGITS66 = {
    '0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9',        'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z',
    'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z',
    '-','.','_','~'
  };

}
