Problem to return list which contains items from rest api

I've got a problem with a method in Android which should return a list of items which are received from rest api. I am able to debug these items in that method - because I wrote declaration of this method in the onCreate method. But the problem occurs once I try to add these items (in that method) to the list, so the method could return these. I receive an error like:

Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

the method which should return items:

public List<Categories> displayDataaaa(List<Categories> categoriesList) {

    this.categoriesList = new ArrayList<Categories>();
    /
    String cat_name = "";

    // this.categoriesList.add(new Categories(1,"lkajsdflk"));
    this.categoriesList.add(new Categories(1, categoriesList.get(0).getCategoriesName()));


    for (int i = 0; i < categoriesList.size(); i++) {
         cat_name = categoriesList.get(i).getCategoriesName();
      //    this.categoriesList.add(new Categories(i, cat_name));
        Log.d("displayDataaaaa-cat_name", "displayDataaaaa-cat_name" + cat_name);

        this.categoriesList.addAll(categoriesList);
    }
 //   this.categoriesList.add(new Categories(1, cat_name));

    return this.categoriesList;
}

Could I ask you for some hint, please? Thank you.

this.categoriesList.add(new Categories(1, categoriesList.get(0).getCategoriesName()));

This is your problem line. categoriesList.get(0) will throw an exception when categoriesList is empty.
