maximum size of ArrayList

[Armin Preis]

Is an ArrayList limited to a number of 258 elements? (in my case Characters)

As adding more than 258 elements to an ArrayList brings up an

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Hope you can help me.

Even if there were a hardcoded limit, 258 would be a ridiculously low
value for it.

There must be something wrong with your code. Post a short, complete
example that causes the exception.

Most likely you've specified an incorrect index.

That's what I thought too.

You're absolutely right.

Thank you!

no, but you must add them in order.
