Android: Using Request.Builder() for a local JSON file?

For the weather app just finished the OkHttp Async chapter. If you were using your own JSON file and didn't have a spot to host it yet like on github. Is there a way to still use Request.Builder() and have the string forecastURL point to the file locally in the meantime?

I'm new to this so not sure where the JSON file would need to be on my machine to get picked up in the build and how you refer to a file locally in the code.

Thanks in advance.
