Is there a way to generate a user id for new users like 'yik yak' does, removing the need of a login id and password? i really want to implement this as the app i am creating is not e-commerce so there is no need for such tight security. Also would there be a way to display the generated user so users could add each other as friends?

                    probably you can take the advantage of mobile number.This will help user to add other user. – Amar Agrawal Dec 09 '15 at 07:21

                    i thought about this but in terms of privacy you might not want every user to have your mobile numder – Alexander Rufus Mar 22 '16 at 23:53

        There is a way to do this using the faker library: https://www.bloco.io/blog/2015/faker-a-library-to-generate-fake-data-for-java-android
Please follow their tutorial.
