working on android studio code without android studio

I am trying to help develop some code that was made using android studio. I have a pretty old laptop and when I try to run android studio it freezes.

I figured that since android studio is just an IDE I should be able to work on the code using vim. However, I've reached a point where I need to change the SDK path in project settings. I have no idea how to do this (and am also a little hazy on what it is).

My questions are:

  1. Is working on this code feasible using vim?
  2. If so, how do I change the SDK path?

Many thanks.

The Android SDK path is in your local.properties file at the project root.

## This file is automatically generated by Android Studio.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file must *NOT* be checked into Version Control Systems,
# as it contains information specific to your local configuration.
#
# Location of the SDK. This is only used by Gradle.
# For customization when using a Version Control System, please read the
# header note.
# Date
sdk.dir=/path/to/your/sdk

and yes, you can use vim and run

./gradlew assembleDebug

to build the debug version.
