ArrayList input java

Im looking at the problem:

Write a program which reads a sequence of integers and displays them in ascending order.

Im creating an ArrayList (which I am new to) and I want to populate with integers input from the command line. With an array I could use a for loop with

 for (int i =0; i < array.length; i++) {
      array[i] = scanner.nextInt();

but with an ArrayList of unbounded size Im not sure how to process the input?

EDIT:

class SortNumbers {

public static void main(String[] args) {

List numbers = new ArrayList();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter some numbers.");

while (scanner.hasNextInt()) {
int i = scanner.nextInt();
numbers.add(i);
    }
  }
}

Answer

The idea with using ArrayList is to avoid the deterministic iteration counts. Try something like this:

ArrayList<Integer> mylist = new ArrayList<Integer>();
while (sc.hasNextInt()) {
    int i = sc.nextInt();
    mylist.add(i);
}
