SecureRandom.Next(Int32) Method

Definition

Generates an integer containing the user-specified number of pseudo-random bits (right justified, with leading zeros).

[Android.Runtime.Register("next", "(I)I", "")]
protected override sealed int Next (int numBits);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("next", "(I)I", "")>]
override this.Next : int -> int

Parameters

numBits
Int32

number of pseudo-random bits to be generated, where 0 <= numBits <= 32.

Returns

an int containing the user-specified number of pseudo-random bits (right justified, with leading zeros).

Attributes

Remarks

Generates an integer containing the user-specified number of pseudo-random bits (right justified, with leading zeros). This method overrides a java.util.Random method, and serves to provide a source of random bits to all of the methods inherited from that class (for example, nextInt, nextLong, and nextFloat).
