    fields = new List<CustomObjectField>
    {
        new CustomObjectField
        {
            name = "FlightNumber",
            dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.text),
            type = "CustomObjectField"
        },
        new CustomObjectField
        {

            type = "CustomObjectField"
        },
        new CustomObjectField
        {
            name = "EmailAddress",
            dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.text),
            type = "CustomObjectField"
        }
    }

Just create a class representing your data with Java (using ArrayList for JSON arrays):

For your field:

public class customObjectField {
private String FlightNumber;
private String FlightDate;
...
}

For your object:

public class customObject {
private int id;
private String name;
private arrayList<customObjectField> fields;
}

Instantiate then serialize with gson. Then post the String.
