Currently I am using a clip art image of two dice as a 'random' button:
However, it doesn't fit the Android look and feel at all.
How would I best represent 'randomness' in a button?

On my android, the music shuffle icon is two forward arrows that cross over. That has a feeling of random. But it is also written Shuffle next to the icon.– Pierre-Alain VigeantCommented Mar 16, 2014 at 3:13

Well you might want to use a dice icon but with question marks on the faces of it. I have seen it somewhere before.
Something like this maybe. http://game-icons.net/icons/delapouite/dice/png/perspective-dice-six-faces-random.png
I personally think you nailed it with the dice. If they don't fit, then play around with them dice to make them fit.
Or consider these:

1I had thought of the first image, but that's most commonly used in randomizing the order of songs. If I was shown something like that, I would probably think that that button just changed the order of whatever I was doing.– whowantsakookieCommented Mar 16, 2014 at 5:00

What your app is about? And what exactly does this button do? Shuffle things up? like shuffling candies in candy crush?– kBislaCommented Mar 16, 2014 at 5:02

I'm making a simple app to view Cyanide and Happiness comics. The 'random' button will show a random comic.– whowantsakookieCommented Mar 16, 2014 at 5:03

This may be more of a comment than an answer but I can't show pictures in a comment.
The dice say "take a chance" to me, not "Generate random output"
Maybe the shuffle or refresh symbol with a question mark will work?
