Randomly Generating Enemies Android

I am making a game in android in which enemies are randomly spawned at the top of the screen and move down. I am able to create 1 enemy that does this, but I can't think of a good way to create many enemies that are all drawn on the same canvas. I have tried many things, and I could really use some help.

Thanks!

The easiest way to do this is to create a class Enemy (name it whatever you like) and instantiate as many as you need using a for loop. You could use an array to store each instance.

An example could be the following: 

Enemy[] arrayOfEnemies = new Enemy[sizeOfArray];
for(int i = 0; i < arrayOfEnemies.length; i++) {
    arrayOfEnemies[i] = new Enemy();    

}

Then you can use an enhanced for (or for each) loop to display them wherever you'd like on your canvas.
