Cannot use Random type

Hi,

I'm quite new at Java, although I have other programming experience.

I'm trying to compile a code sample, which makes use of the Random type. The problem is that Eclipse produces the following error message:

The import android.util.Random cannot be resolved

This seems, strange, because in the Type Hierarchy browser I can easily find the unit and the Random type. I'm using Eclipse Juno, 20121004-1855 with Android SDK at API level 17. Not sure what other information would be needed to resolve this error.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry for bother you guys, I just found the solution: I should have imported java.util.Random, rather than android.util.Random!
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
