Creating random numbers with no duplicates

Question

In this case, the MAX is only 5, so I could check the duplicates one by one, but how could I do this in a simpler way? For example, what if the MAX has a value of 20? Thanks

//random numbers are 0,1,2,3 
ArrayList numbers = new ArrayList();   
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
while (numbers.size() < 4) {

    int random = randomGenerator .nextInt(4);
    if (!numbers.contains(random)) {
        numbers.add(random);
    }
}
