From what you say, you seem like trying to build a JSONArray out of some JSONObjects. This might help:

public void writeJSON() {
    JSONObject user = new JSONObject();
    JSONObject user2;
    user2 = new JSONObject();
    try {
        user.put("dish_id", "1");
        user.put("dish_custom", "2");
        user.put("quantity", "2");
        user.put("shared", "2");

        user2.put("dish_id", "2");
        user2.put("dish_custom", "2");
        user2.put("quantity", "4");
        user2.put("shared", "3");
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    JSONArray notebookUsers = new JSONArray();
    notebookUsers.put(user);
    notebookUsers.put(user2);
    System.out.println("the JSON ARRAY is"+notebookUsers);

Here 2 json objects are added to 1 JSONArray.

The output of the System.out.println will look something like this:

the JSON ARRAY is[{"shared":"2","dish_custom":"2","dish_id":"1","quantity":"2"},{"shared":"3","dish_custom":"2","dish_id":"2","quantity":"4"}]

And the string comparison you are using is not right.

if(matchDateTemp != matchDate1)

u cannot compare strings like that. u can use something like:

if(!(matchDateTemp.equals(matchDate1)))
