Where do you want to store the new copy of your string: 1) right next to the original string? or 2) at the end of the ArrayList?

The add method of the ArrayList class has another form. You can specify the index where you want to add the item by passing an integer as its first argument: list.add(i,s); //this inserts s at index i stephen haokip Also follow Sandra's advice whenever it's possible.

It's in general not a good idea to modify a list while iterating over it. What's the problem now for you? This loop already adds the copies as you wanted to, or did you want something different?
