Yes, this is the problem.  You have to use something different from an 
ArrayList, because the ArrayList does change size.

Look into plain arrays, IntBuffer, DataInputStream and DataOutputStream.

It would also help now if we knew why you want to store multiple 
ArraysLists on disk.  What is it you are trying to do?
