How to add Element to ArrayList at Specified Index in Java

In Java, with a given ArrayList object we can use the ArrayList.add(int index, E element) method to insert a specified element at the specified index in the ArrayList as the example Java code below.

AddElementToArrayListAtIndexExample1.java

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class AddElementToArrayListAtIndexExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args){
        ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
        arrayList.add("One");
        arrayList.add("Four");

        // Insert element at the specified position in the ArrayList
        arrayList.add(1, "Two");
        arrayList.add(2, "Three");

        System.out.println("ArrayList: " + arrayList);
    }
}
