You need an OTG cable to plug a USB stick into an Android device. They're about $40 if you buy a name brand cable in a big box store, or about 2 bucks including shipping if you buy one on eBay from China. (And they work - I have a few of them, and they're well-made.) If you want to spend another 2 bucks you can get the ones with the right-angle connector at the phone end, so the cable doesn't stick out so far. (How the name brands can get away with charging $40 for 2 connectors and a few inches of wire is the part that gets me.)
