Question

I want to get multiple image URI using intent filter without implements a whole custom filechooser.

To get the URI of a single image I use

private void openImage() {
        try {
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            i.setType("image/*");
            startActivityForResult(i, FILE_REQ_CODE);
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {

        }

    }

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
            Intent intentData) {
        try {
            Uri tmp = intentData.getData();
            filePath = getRealFilePathFromURI(tmp);
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intentData);
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {

        }

    }

That works fine…

However I don’t know how to get multiple selection using Intent filters.

How could I get multiple URI?

There is no means to get multiple images, at least not through standard Intent actions like ACTION_GET_CONTENT. Sorry!
