    Very common question for people new to Java's `ArrayList<>` library. The existence of the `set(pos, val)` method is not intuitive and doesn't fit with other Java paradigms. – SMBiggs Aug 02 '16 at 23:00
  • when you use the data class in kotlin, as follows : val modelData = ModelData() listData[index] = modelData – arjava Apr 22 '19 at 02:32

Let arrList be the ArrayList and newValue the new String, then just do:

arrList.set(5, newValue);

This can be found in the java api reference here.

 import java.util.ArrayList;
 import java.util.Iterator;


 public class javaClass {

public static void main(String args[]) {


    ArrayList<String> alstr = new ArrayList<>();
    alstr.add("irfan");
    alstr.add("yogesh");
    alstr.add("kapil");
    alstr.add("rajoria");

    for(String str : alstr) {
        System.out.println(str);
    }
    // update value here
    alstr.set(3, "Ramveer");
    System.out.println("with Iterator");
    Iterator<String>  itr = alstr.iterator();

    while (itr.hasNext()) {
        Object obj = itr.next();
        System.out.println(obj);

    }
}}

arrayList.set(location,newValue); location= where u wnna insert, newValue= new element you are inserting.

notify is optional, depends on conditions.
