How to randomize if statements within android development

I am building a questionnaire type application within android and I am wondering if there is a way to randomize the final output if the if statements have the same values? In other terms I don't want one single result that occurs every time, I want the result to be randomized between 'GOOD JOB' and 'WELL DONE' does anybody know if this is possible?

Here is my Code:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_system);
    RadioGroup gender = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.answer1);
    gender.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            switch (checkedId) {
            case R.id.answer1A:
                ans1 = 1;
                break;
            case R.id.answer1B:
                ans1 = 2;
                break;
            }
        }
    });
    RadioGroup nutrition = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.answer2);
    nutrition.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup group, int checkedId) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            switch (checkedId) {
            case R.id.answer2A:
                ans2 = 1;
                break;
            case R.id.answer2B:
                ans2 = 2;
                break;
            }
        }
    });


    btnSubmitQuiz = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit);
    btnSubmitQuiz.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // 1
            if (ans1 == 1 && ans2 == 1) {

                displayResult("good job");

            }

            if (ans1 == 1 && ans2 == 1 ) {

                displayResult("well done");

            }


            else {

                displayResult("FAIL");

            }
        }

        private void displayResult(String result) {
            Intent i = new Intent("com.example.system.SHOWRESULT");
            i.putExtra("unique_constant", result);
            startActivity(i);

        }
    });

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.system, menu);
    return true;
}

}

You could have a function to generate a random index from a string array of correct result responses.

String[] correctResults;
Random randomGenerator;

public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    //All your init stuff...
    generator = new Random();
    correctResults = new String[] {"good job", "well done"};
}

public String getRandomCorrectResult() {
    return correctResults[generator.nextInt(correctResults.length)];
}

And just call getRandomCorrectResult() inside of that if statement!

I'm not going to write actual code for you because that takes the fun away, but instead of displayResult("GOOD JOB") you could have a function called displayPositiveResult()

In this function you would randomly select a string from an array of strings containing things like "Great job!", "You did it!", "Way to go!"

You get the idea.

Hope this helps!
