Seems like you can't iterate through JSONArray with a for each. You can loop through your JSONArray like this:

for (int i=0; i < arr.length(); i++) {
    arr.getJSONObject(i);
}

You want something like this..

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(sJSON);
JSONArray jsonPersonData = jsonArray.getJSONArray(1);
for (int i=0; i<jsonPersonData.length(); i++) {
    JSONObject item = jsonPersonData.getJSONObject(i);
    String name = item.getString("name");
    String surname = item.getString("surname");
}

Java "foreach" syntax is not applicable because the JSONArray API does not implement the Iterable interface.

Can we import any jar so that it would work?

The answer to that is No. The org.json APIs are "baked in" for Android. I don't think they can be changed without modifying / replacing the Android runtime libraries.

The solution is to either petition "someone"¹ to change the official org.json APIs in Android.

Or use a different JSON API, which could be problematic depending on the other APIs that you are using.

Or just bite the bullet and use indexing. It is not that bad ...

^{1 - Good luck with that! For a start, it is not clear who you should petition ...}

I bet the libraries you are using are different:

For library

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.json</groupId>
    <artifactId>json</artifactId>
    <version>20090211</version>
</dependency>

the JSONArray doesn't implement iterator, thus you need for-loop like below:

for (int i = 0; i < logList.length(); i++) {
            //your operation
}

If you are using below library

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
   <artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
   <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

Then use below approach:

        for (Object jsonObject : logList) {
            if(jsonObject instanceof JSONObject)
            {
                //your operation
            }
        }

This is equivalent of or code in Java 8 stream API. Not 100% equivalent, but you can get the main idea.

private static final String COMMITS_IN_PATCH_IDENTIFIER = "patchInformation_svnRevisionpublic";  //key used to identify the commits in a patch from JSON response received from PMT
private static final String KEY_STRING = "name";
private static final String VALUE_STRING = "value";

public List<String> getCommitIds (JSONArray array) {
     return arrayToStream(array)
            .map(JSONObject.class::cast)
            .filter(o -> o.get(KEY_STRING).equals(COMMITS_IN_PATCH_IDENTIFIER))
            .findFirst()
            .map(o -> (JSONArray) o.get(VALUE_STRING))
            .map(Main::arrayToStream)
            .map(commits ->
                    commits.map(Object::toString)
                            .map(String::trim)
                            .collect(Collectors.toList())
            )
            .orElseGet(Collections::emptyList);
}

@Nonnull
private static Stream<Object> arrayToStream(JSONArray array) {
    return StreamSupport.stream(array.spliterator(), false);
}
