Picking a random element from a set

A somewhat related Did You Know:

There are useful methods in java.util.Collections for shuffling whole collections: Collections.shuffle(List<?>) and Collections.shuffle(List<?> list, Random rnd).

int size = myHashSet.size();
int item = new Random().nextInt(size); // In real life, the Random object should be rather more shared than this
int i = 0;
for(Object obj : myhashSet)
{
    if (i == item)
        return obj;
    i++;
}

In Java 8:

static <E> E getRandomSetElement(Set<E> set) {
    return set.stream().skip(new Random().nextInt(set.size())).findFirst().orElse(null);
}

Fast solution for Java using an ArrayList and a HashMap: [element -> index].

Motivation: I needed a set of items with RandomAccess properties, especially to pick a random item from the set (see pollRandom method). Random navigation in a binary tree is not accurate: trees are not perfectly balanced, which would not lead to a uniform distribution.

public class RandomSet<E> extends AbstractSet<E> {

    List<E> dta = new ArrayList<E>();
    Map<E, Integer> idx = new HashMap<E, Integer>();

    public RandomSet() {
    }

    public RandomSet(Collection<E> items) {
        for (E item : items) {
            idx.put(item, dta.size());
            dta.add(item);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean add(E item) {
        if (idx.containsKey(item)) {
            return false;
        }
        idx.put(item, dta.size());
        dta.add(item);
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Override element at position <code>id</code> with last element.
     * @param id
     */
    public E removeAt(int id) {
        if (id >= dta.size()) {
            return null;
        }
        E res = dta.get(id);
        idx.remove(res);
        E last = dta.remove(dta.size() - 1);
        // skip filling the hole if last is removed
        if (id < dta.size()) {
            idx.put(last, id);
            dta.set(id, last);
        }
        return res;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean remove(Object item) {
        @SuppressWarnings(value = "element-type-mismatch")
        Integer id = idx.get(item);
        if (id == null) {
            return false;
        }
        removeAt(id);
        return true;
    }

    public E get(int i) {
        return dta.get(i);
    }

    public E pollRandom(Random rnd) {
        if (dta.isEmpty()) {
            return null;
        }
        int id = rnd.nextInt(dta.size());
        return removeAt(id);
    }

    @Override
    public int size() {
        return dta.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Iterator<E> iterator() {
        return dta.iterator();
    }
}
