Question

When I type:

adb devices

My output is (this can be variable, it can list 10 or 20 etc):

List of devices attached 
0280414640c133d7    device
TA054085R1  device

Afterwards I’d like to run:

adb install MyApp 0280414640c133d7
adb install MyApp TA054085R1

How can I get this going in a bash script?

Answer 1

I’m not sure how robust you need your solution to be, but something like this will work with the case you describe above:

   #!/bin/bash

echo "Deploying SONR to devices..."

#install SONR
for foo in `adb devices | egrep 'device$' | cut -d ' ' -f1`
do
    adb -s $foo install SONR.apk
done

It is no doubt possible to replace the ugly egrep piped through cut with a single call to sed or awk or even a perl one-liner.
