The Random class provides a method that returns a random integer between 0 and n (exclusive).

Random wheel = new Random();
int random = wheel.nextInt(n); 

By default it uses the current timestamp as the seed for the random generator, or alternately you can provide your own.

String hex = "01001101";
int n = Integer.parseInt(hex, 2);
