I have a list of all user apps on the device and i'm currently looping over it and executing

am force-stop <package>

for each item. The problem with that is that even with command timeout set to 1 it's really slow (takes over 2 mins to kill all)

My question is if there's a way (or even better a built in function) to split the list into chunks.

For example the list has 100 items and when i would do

Code: Select all

lists = splitChunks(list, 2);
list1 = lists[0];
list2 = lists[1];

it would return a list containing 2 lists with 50 items each that i can then go through in parallel to speed up the processing

Why don't just loop over the original list based on the length and the output it to another list.

Code: Select all

lists = newList("Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", "Delta", "Echo", "Foxtrot");

list1 = newList();
for(i in [0 to length(lists)/2 - 1])
  addElement(list1, lists[i]);
list2 = removeAllElementValues(lists, list1)

BTW, I don't think paralleling up the command can speed it up significantly. But I am curious to see the result.
