Java ArrayList how to add elements at the beginning

by

List has the method add(int, E), so you can use:

list.add(0, yourObject);

Afterwards you can delete the last element with:

if(list.size() > 10)
    list.remove(list.size() - 1);

However, you might want to rethink your requirements or use a different data structure, like a Queue

EDIT

Maybe have a look at Apache’s CircularFifoQueue:

CircularFifoQueue is a first-in first-out queue with a fixed size that replaces its oldest element if full.

Just initialize it with you maximum size:

CircularFifoQueue queue = new CircularFifoQueue(10);
