ArrayList add item code example

Example 1: insert element into arraylist java

ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
// Adds element at the back of the list
arrayList.add("foo");
arrayList.add("bar");
// Result = ["foo", "bar"]

// Adds element at the specified index
arrayList.add(1, "baz");
// Result = ["foo", "baz", "bar"]

Example 2: ArrayList add(int index, E element) method in java

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ArrayListAddMethodExample
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      // creating an empty ArrayList with initial capacity
      ArrayList<Integer> al = new ArrayList<Integer>(6);
      al.add(12);
      al.add(14);
      al.add(16);
      al.add(18);
      al.add(20);
      // adding element 15 at fourth position
      al.add(3, 15);
      for(Integer number : al)
      {
         System.out.println("Number: " + number);
      }
   }
}

Example 3: java arraylist add

//create ArrayList
ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
//add item to ArrayList
arrayList.add("item");
//check if ArrayList contains item (returns boolean)
System.out.println(arrayList.contains("item"));
//remove item from ArrayList
arrayList.remove("item");
