java 随机 按行读取,Java - 随机行读取

I am programing an Android app, and would like my program to read a random line of a file. How would I go about doing that?

To do that, you need either fixed-length lines (the implementation details should be obvious in that case) or information about how many lines there are and (optionally, for better performance) at what offsets inside the file they begin (an index of sorts).

For small files, you can create such an index on demand whenever you need a random line. To do it efficiently for large files, you need to keep the index around persistently, perhaps in a separate file.

If lines tend to be roughly the same length and you don't need perfect "randomness", you could also pick a random byte offset inside the file and scan for the nearest line break.
