I have an application in which there is an ImageView .

I can take one picture from the gallery using:

 Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK); photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*"); startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, GALLERY_REQUEST);

and transfer it to my application in ImageView .

Is it possible to make it so that I can select several pictures simultaneously from the gallery and transfer them to my ImageView application?

If so, how to do it?

If not, please suggest alternatives, if any.

Thank.

    Yes you can. There are several options:

    1. Add EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE flag:

       photoPickerIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);

      BUT , this option will work far from everywhere and, possibly, not as it should.

    2. Use a third-party solution like this or these .

    3. Write your own picture selection dialog.

    Most preferably , in my opinion, option number 2 .

    • And how to check the first option? I entered Extra_Allow_multiply, launched the application and how can I select some pictures here? I click on one and it is immediately saved in imageView? - Andrew Lawmaking 1:58
    • @AndrewLawmaking, As I said before, this is not a very good solution that does not always work. Better use the library from the second option. - post_zeew
    • Well thank you. And with the video can also be done? For example, select all the videos from the gallery and transfer them to my application? - Andrew Lawmaking
    • @AndrewLawmaking, Yes, you can, using the appropriate libraries, for example. - post_zeew
