Step 2 : create assets Folder and put json file like login.json

I hope it will help you...!

I want to simply move it over under app

If you literally mean that you want to have app/something.json, you are welcome to put the file there, but it will not be packaged with your app, and it will not be available to you at runtime.

If you want to ship the JSON with your app, you have four major options:

• Put it in assets/ and read it in using AssetManager and its open() method to get an InputStream

• Put it in res/raw/ and read it in using Resources and its openRawResource() method

• Hardcode it as a string in Java code

• Write yourself a code generator that converts JSON into a Java class that you would access like you do the code-generated R and BuildConfig classes

It is possible that such a code generator already exists. I have a rudimentary Gradle plugin that does this, as an example that I'll be including in the next update of my book.
