I'm afraid the only way to access OTG on a wide range of devices is by querying all these directories:
/storage/UsbDriveA (all Samsung devices)
/storage/USBstorage1 (LG G4, V10, G3, G2, other LG devices)
/storage/usbdisk (Moto Maxx, Turbo 2, Moto X Pure, other Motorola devices)
/storage/usbotg (Sony Xperia devices, Lenovo Tabs)
/storage/UDiskA (Oppo devices)
/storage/usb-storage (Acer Iconia Tabs)
/storage/usbcard (Dell Venue -- Vanilla Android 4.3 tablet)
/storage/usb (HTC One M7, and some Vanilla Android devices)
Tested on my collection of devices and the devices of 3 other people, and a quick trip to Bestbuy for testing the latest flagships. The only popular devices I know I'm missing are Hawuei/Xioami devices based in China, which are becoming popular in English countries.
Hope this helps
