I want to be able to read the contents of a USB drive on my android device.

I have an android phone and the phone recognises a USB drive has been plugged in immediately. It runs android 2.3 I think.

However, plugging the same thing into my Acer Iconia B1 tablet, nothing happens. The light doesn't come on the drive and nothing appears in ES file manager. I have enable USB debugging in the developer screen but it made no difference. Have not been able to find any useful help online. I was thinking there might be a setting somewhere for it? It runs jellybean

I dont think the Acer supports USB OTG.

So you would need to install a custom rom. Have a look on the XDA site if you are interested.
