You can move apps to an SD card from the Apps section of an Android phone's Settings with just a few taps. If your Android phone has an SD card slot, you can move apps out of internal storage. Storing apps on an SD card can free up space on your phone for other apps and data.
Reason 1.Developers of Android apps need to explicitly make their apps available to move to the SD card using the “android:installLocation” attribute in the <manifest> element of their app. If they don't, the option to “Move to SD card” is grayed out.
Add android:installLocation="auto" attribute in the tag of your manifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.mycompany.myapp" android:installLocation="auto" android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.2"> it will enable the Move to SD card button for your application.

You need to include android:installLocation="auto" or android:installLocation="preferExternal" in the <manifest> element of your AndroidManifest.xml. You also need to set target API version to Froyo for that (but minimum API version can be lower).
