The ArrayList.ensureCapacity(int min) does not change the size. So even the minimum capacity of this array increase, this size of this array still keeps same. if the size happens to be less than the minicapacity (in your case), the error will occurs. If you check the size value, I bet it will less than index+1 in your case.
