Answer 1

You modify you setter method like this.

private static ArrayList playerList = new ArrayList();

public boolean addToPlayerList(String input) {
   if (playerList.size() < 10) {
      playerList.add(input);
      return true;   
   } else {
      return false;
   }
}

Or

You can extend ArrayList and create your own customized class.

public class MyArrayList extends ArrayList {
  @Override
  public boolean add(String input) {
      if (this.size() < 10) {
          return super.add(input);
      } else {
          return false;
      }
  }
}
