Generating JobId for Android Jobscheduler services

I have multiple JobServices in my app. As per the Android docs, JobId for each JobService has to be unique per uid. In order to avoid collisions, I am using unique String hashcode as my JobId. this can lead to negative JobIds as well. Is this the right way of generating JobIds?

Okay so one way of doing it,maybe the only way(If you want complete automated numbers without using an arrayList of previous numbers) is to use a static field.So using this technique you'll have:

public class MyJobService extends JobService {
    public static int jobIb = 0;
...

    public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters jobParameters) {
        jobIb++;

now each time creating a job info just use:

new JobInfo.Builder(MyJobService.jobIb,componentName).setExtras(bundle).setRequiredNetworkType(JobInfo.NETWORK_TYPE_ANY).build()

So this is the way to do it if you have only one type of JobService,if you have more simply call MyJobService.jobIb++; on their onStartJob as well you'll be fine.
