Parse json from assets

Sure, but you need to decode it as a JSON and then use list management tools to be able to sort it to its different indexes.

I had tested and made what you want. But there is a problem. It takes too much time to load all the words of the dictionary. I suggest You not to build an offline app by uploading to the Asset folder. You can build an online based dictionary by uploading the JSON file to Cloudinary.

for an offline database you might want to consider SQlite
