You have ArrayList all wrong,

You can't have an integer array and assign a string value.
You cannot do a add() method in an array

Rather do this:

List<String> alist = new ArrayList<String>();
alist.add("apple");
alist.add("banana");
alist.add("orange");

String value = alist.get(1); //returns the 2nd item from list, in this case "banana"

Indexing is counted from 0 to N-1 where N is size() of list.

Java while loop to find index of elements in ArrayList

ArrayList.indexOf(Object o) will always return the index of the first occurrence of the given object, so what you observe is happening by design; to get the indices of the others, you would have to remove the item from the list once you find it so that when you call indexOf again, the next occurrence is seen. Alternatively, you could scan through the list and compare elements directly instead of using indexOf. That way, you wouldn't have to modify the list at all, since you'd simply be looking at each item and comparing with a reference value. More on reddit.com

Java Array list with more than 2^31 items?

Is it possible to create an array list in Java that holds more than 231 Items? In a single java.util.ArrayList? No. Java array indices are integer based and you won't be able to create a single array longer than that. However you could implement your own version of an arraylist that used a long index and used the first 4 bytes of a long to index into a list containing the underlying arrays. So can you create "an array list that can hold more than 231 items": sure. Can a standard java.util.ArrayList hold more? No. More on reddit.com
