I have set in my manifest file android:installLocation="preferExternal" but not installed in external storage as USB.

I am able to install on external storage as SDCARD.

Also, I have tried adb commands such as :

   adb devices
   adb shell pm set-install-location 2
   adb shell pm get-install-location

But only able to transfer on SDCARD.

Please provide suggestion to install app directly on OTG Pen Drive.

Thank You...!!!

I guess that is not possibe at all. – rekire Sep 15 '15 at 10:03
Might be you are right @rekire but its consider external as sdcard so might be there is way to store in external as OTG usb pendrive. – Mukesh Parmar Sep 15 '15 at 10:10
Please keep in mind when the `installLocation` attribute was added vs. when the OTG support was added. – rekire Sep 15 '15 at 10:12
Can you more elaborate ? – Mukesh Parmar Sep 15 '15 at 10:19

There no feature like installLocation as USB. And it shouldn't be there as it breaks security of android system. – Bharat Dodeja Oct 18 '15 at 05:22
