I am sure this code will surely resolve your issues...This is working fine for me...\

try {
            File mountFile = new File("/proc/mounts");
            usbFoundCount=0;
            sdcardFoundCount=0;
            if(mountFile.exists())
             {
                Scanner usbscanner = new Scanner(mountFile);
                while (usbscanner.hasNext()) {
                    String line = usbscanner.nextLine();
                    if (line.startsWith("/dev/fuse /storage/usbcard1")) {
                        usbFoundCount=1;
                        Log.i("-----USB--------","USB Connected and properly mounted---/dev/fuse /storage/usbcard1" );
                    }
            }
         }
            if(mountFile.exists()){
                Scanner sdcardscanner = new Scanner(mountFile);
                while (sdcardscanner.hasNext()) {
                    String line = sdcardscanner.nextLine();
                    if (line.startsWith("/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard1")) {
                        sdcardFoundCount=1;
                        Log.i("-----USB--------","USB Connected and properly mounted---/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard1" );
                    }
            }
         }
            if(usbFoundCount==1)
            {
                Toast.makeText(context,"USB Connected and properly mounted", 7000).show();
                Log.i("-----USB--------","USB Connected and properly mounted" );
            }
            else
            {
                Toast.makeText(context,"USB not found!!!!", 7000).show();
                Log.i("-----USB--------","USB not found!!!!" );

            }
            if(sdcardFoundCount==1)
            {
                Toast.makeText(context,"SDCard Connected and properly mounted", 7000).show();
                Log.i("-----SDCard--------","SDCard Connected and properly mounted" );
            }
            else
            {
                Toast.makeText(context,"SDCard not found!!!!", 7000).show();
                Log.i("-----SDCard--------","SDCard not found!!!!" );

            }
        }catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
