Hello Nidhi kumar,
Welcome to JavaRanch. ArrayList is yet another object and it does NOT lose its contents until and unless its elements are cleared off by calling the clear() method on the arraylist object .
What exactly are you dealing with ? Can you paste some sample code or tell us more about what exactly you are doing?

Is this topic not better off in the Beginner forum?

To save data across invocations of your program you'll need to write the contents to a disk file at the end of the program and then read that file when you start the program.

Can't you use some different collection objects.....
Or you are restricted to Arraylist

This might be better off in another forum but let's leave it here to breathe a little life into this one
