You can just generate the sequence numbers as integers and then format them like this:

String.format("%08d", yournumber);

You just need to use string formatting to pad numbers with zeros:

for (int i = 1; i < 1000; i++) {
    String sequence = String.format("%08d", i);
}

You can just maintain that variable as an integer and use String.format to format it.

String s = String.format ("%08d", 42); // gives you "00000042"
