This example gives how to swap two elements in the ArrayList. By calling Collections.swap() method you can swap two elements of the ArrayList. You have to pass the indexes which you need to swap.


Code:
package com.java2novice.arraylist;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class MyArrayListSwap {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
		list.add("Java");
		list.add("Cric");
		list.add("Play");
		list.add("Watch");
		list.add("Glass");
		list.add("Movie");
		list.add("Girl");
		
		Collections.swap(list, 2, 5);
		System.out.println("Results after swap operation:");
		for(String str: list){
			System.out.println(str);
		}
	}
}

Output:

When to use LinkedList or ArrayList?
Accessing elements are faster with ArrayList, because it is index based. But accessing is difficult with LinkedList. It is slow access. This is to access any element, you need to navigate through the elements one by one. But insertion and deletion is much faster with LinkedList, because if you know the node, just change the pointers before or after nodes. Insertion and deletion is slow with ArrayList, this is because, during these operations ArrayList need to adjust the indexes according to deletion or insetion if you are performing on middle indexes. Means, an ArrayList having 10 elements, if you are inserting at index 5, then you need to shift the indexes above 5 to one more.
