How to get next item in ArrayList

I have an

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> 

I have good reasons to use the Hashmap. I'm getting a bunch of names from Sqlite into an array. Starting at the first name how do I get the next String in the array.

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> name =controller.getnames();
    String[] array=name.toArray(new String[name.size()]); 

The first name might be John the second Joe and the third Jim. How do I get the next name.
