Android Studio – Where and how to put HTML files in Android app resource files?

I am creating a simple Android Bible app. Bible text is structured in the bible folder as:

.
├── bible
│   ├── book_one
│   │   ├── chapter_one.html
│   │   ├── chapter_two.html
│   │   └── [...]
│   ├── book_two
│   │   ├── chapter_one.html
│   │   ├── chapter_two.html
│   │   └── [...]
│   ├── [...]
| [...]
[...]

My question are:

  • where is the appropriate place to put the bible folder in Android app project and,
  • how do I import it with the Android Studio (version Artic Fox) and,
  • how do I load those files to use it within my code?

P.S. I’m new in the Android app dev world.
