Elements shouldn`t duplicate

I have programmed a quiz, there I created an array of the questions, choices and the answer. The Arrays are in the QuestionLibrary. In my main activity (Quiz Activity) I randomize the questions, after every correct answer the questions appear in random rows. It works fine, I only don`t want that the questions do not repeat them self like: "What is my name", "how are you" "What is my name". They should only appear ONCE. For Example, there are 13 questions, I want that every question will be only asked only once but in random orders and not several times. How can I set that up? (I am beginner)

Quiz Activiy:

    package amapps.impossiblequiz;

Shuffle the collection once when you load the activity, rather than after every time a question is answered.
