java lang IndexOutOfBoundsException Index 0 Size 0 exception

Question

I am getting the error java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0.

public Collection<AdDistribution> getAdDistribution(byte srch, byte cont) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {

    List<AdDistribution> mediums = new ArrayList<>();
    List<AdDistribution> adDistribution = new ArrayList<>();
            adDistribution.add(AdDistribution.SEARCH);
            adDistribution.add(AdDistribution.CONTENT);
            if (adDistribution.isEmpty()) {
                return null;
              }

    if (srch == 0 && cont == 0) {
        mediums = new ArrayList<>();
        mediums.set(0, adDistribution.get(0));
    }
    if (srch == 1 || cont == 1) {
        mediums = new ArrayList<>();
        if (srch == 1) {
            mediums.set(0, adDistribution.get(0));
        } else if (cont == 1) {
            mediums.set(0, adDistribution.get(1));
        }
    }
    if (srch == 1 && cont == 1) {
        mediums = new ArrayList<>();
        mediums.set(0, adDistribution.get(0));
        mediums.set(1, adDistribution.get(1));
    }
            return mediums;
}

Can someone help me fix this?

Answer 1

The error means that you are using the set method to update the element at index 0. So to solve this you have to first add an element at index 0 thereafter only you can update it with the set method.
