Move an app to sd card

[paulsiu]

Hi,

I do not see this question in the forum. What I am trying to do is to automatically move a selected group of application to sdcard. I do this manually by
1. Going to settings,
2. Select App,
3. Click on change storage
4. Click to external.

Currently, I have to do this every time the app is updated, because each time it is updated, the app moves back to the internal storage. I would essentially like to automated this. How would I go about doing this? I have setup a trigger on app update, and then use it to display a notification that it's been updated. I like to replace that notification with an action to move to SD. Is this possible? I can't figure out how. Can I run a script of some kind?

Ok,
I think there maybe multiple approaches, keep in mine that I have not use this product and is must making educated guess.
1. There appears to be a way of using ADB command to move application. The problem is that I don't think Macdroid currently support that particular command yet.
2. There may be a way to use UI interaction to select App info and change permission. The big problem is that this is really hit or miss.
3. We may be able to use another App as a helper. If one install AppMtr III, I notice that there is an option for move all app. Even better is that you can setup which apps gets installed. So now just need to setup which app gets move and then have the Macrodroid issue some sort of intent or UI interaction to trigger the move all apps.
