Article shows how to get a random number form a pool of min and max. nextInt() is the main theme in whole article. In many real time application there is a need of creating random numbers as a part of the application. This article may help at that time. As code says everything but putting image which shows diff number at time interval is a good improvement.

public int getRandomNumber(int min, int max) {
   Random rnd;
   rnd = new Random();
   return min + rnd.nextInt(max - min);
}
