I have checked the documentation of Android[0]. The library provides a UUID
class exposing the randomUUID() function. This function is supposed to
generate universally unique ids. I hope this will work. Let me know if
there's any catch to it.

As libuui is a C library, I will have to port it to Andriod(java) if this is
what I should use. I wonder if this is preferred.
