Possible to do random text

I am doing the Android development track and have finished the simple build a android app. I was wondering is there a way to do display text like random quote when the app load the xml file or does random text have to be generated with the onclicklistener command. In the example it is done by the button and listening for the click.

I wanted to try generating a random quote/tip upon loading of the first page of the app.

I have checked the android library. I've found something called onCreate.

I'm stuck. Sorry if I am jumping ahead.

Any help????
