You can use Collections.shuffle(List) method

final Integer[] name={ 1, 2, 3, 4};
List<Integer> shuffle = new ArrayList<Integer>(Arrays.asList(name));

for(int i = 0; i <shuffle.size(); i++) {
    Collections.shuffle(shuffle);
    for (int j = 0; j < shuffle.size(); j++) {
        System.out.print(shuffle.get(j) + " ");
    }
    System.out.println();
}

In this example the output is:
