Install application in SD card or external USB drive without root?

Question

Is it possible any of the following in a non-rooted Android device?

You're asking multiple questions here. #1 is certainly possible; it's called side-loading. The rest looks like you're asking generic information about an app you'd like to build. We're not here for programmers, but for end users. Unless you can edit your question to show how this is something that would be useful to an end user, I'm afraid it's likely to be closed. — ale, Commented Jun 27, 2013 at 17:31
Also, as Al noted: please edit your question and keep only one item in. Feel free to post each of your questions separate -- that's how this site works.

ok, thanks for the advice, I removed the second part of the question to make it only app-installation specific — Albert, Commented Jun 27, 2013 at 19:13

Yes. See: Can I install apps on phone without using the Android Market?
You can't install directly to the SD card. In many cases you can move much of the app and its data to the SD card, but the OS and the app have to support it. Even then, you need to install normally and then move it, and you can't move 100%.
Not without a custom ROM, and maybe not even then.
