How to make one line for loop in android shell

Question

This works on bash

for i in {1..5}; do echo $i; done

the out put is 1 2 3 4 5 But on android shell the output is {1..5}

Answer 1

Have you tried,

for ((i=1; i<=5; i++)) do echo $i; done

Edit-

or you can use sequence,

for i in `seq 1 5`; do echo $i; done

Answer 2

If your sequence isn't too large, you can just list out the values of interest. So in the default Android ADB shell:

for i in 1 2 3; do echo $i; done

Returns:
1
2
3

or:

for i in 5 11 7; do echo $i; done

Returns:
5
11
7

or even:

for i in apple orange banana; do echo $i; done

Returns:
apple
orange
banana
