How to attach multiple images to an email?

I am trying to attach multiple images to an email.

I have tried the next code, but I don`t know what I am doing wrong.

I need to call the images by the Integer Array that you will see and attach them to an email.

Some of the class look like this:

Integer[] images = {
        R.drawable.image1,
        R.drawable.image2,
        R.drawable.image3,
        R.drawable.image4 };

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch(v.getId()){

    case R.id.bSendEmail:

        Intent emailintent2 = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
        emailintent2.setType("plain/text");
        emailintent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, emailaddress2);
        emailintent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, corsub);
        emailintent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message2);

        ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();

        uris.add(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + images[0]));
        uris.add(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + images[1]));
        uris.add(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + images[2]));
        uris.add(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + images[3]));

        emailintent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);
        startActivity(emailintent2);

     break;

use 

emailintent2.putParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);

instead of

emailintent2.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uris);

using file 

private String root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()
            + Tags.DIRECTORY_PATH;

 path = new ArrayList<String>();

            File f = new File(root);

            File[] files = f.listFiles();

            if (!root.equals(root))

            {

                item.add(root);

                path.add(root);

                item.add("../");

                path.add(f.getParent());
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)

            {

                File file = files[i];

                path.add(file.getPath());

                if (file.isDirectory())

                    item.add(file.getName() + "/");

                else

                    item.add(file.getName());


  ArrayList<Uri> uris = new ArrayList<Uri>();
            for (String file : path) {
                File fileIn = new File(file);
                Uri u = Uri.fromFile(fileIn);
                uris.add(u);
            }

Bad news. It's simply not supported.

Have you thought of creating a ZIP archive of the attachments, and attach the archive?

(Note: Even that does not work good enough for me currently, but many seem to be able to live with it.)
