Android JSON Splitting data results by name/type

this is my first attempt at using a JSON file sourced from a local directory on an android device. Now I can parse information fine. My only issue is selecting sub categories i.e if one section contains the Series "x1" I would just want to list the results that contain series "x1". Is there a way to do this? Id like to get the selectors done first before making it look "fancy" :) any help would be great. A snippet of my JSON is below:

[
  {
    "name": "Test",
    "value": "value from first field",
    "Series": "x2"
  },
  {
    "Batch": "0001",
    "character": "Orange",
    "Series": "x1",
    "image": "https://.png",
    "name": "Xr122",
    "value": "Figure"
  }
]

Now for my code it reads the following:

ArrayList<String> fields = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int index = 0; index < jsonArray.length(); index++) {
            //Set both values into the listview
            JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(index);
            fields.add(jsonObject.getString("name") + " - " + jsonObject.getString("value"));
        }

I just don't know where to begin when selecting certain factors when searching. If game series equals "x1" then show etc etc. A point in the right direction would be great. I have a list of over 500 results and thought this would be a much quicker way to sort he results instead of writing a new json file also would allow for custom searches. This is my first try with this so any tips would be great.

you can try this but it may take some time:

ArrayList<String> fields = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int index = 0; index < jsonArray.length(); index++) {
        //Set both values into the listview
        JSONObject jsonObject = jsonArray.getJSONObject(index);

        String series = jsonObject.getString("series");

        if(series.equals("x1")){
                fields.add(jsonObject.getString("name") + " - " + jsonObject.getString("value"));
          }

    }
