How to use camera intent to take photos multiple times

I got a problem similar to (How to take multiple photos before dismissing camera intent?)!

how ever he used the:

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA);

I need to use somewhat like this:

    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
        fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);

        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);

    // start the image capture Intent
        startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE);
   }

since i need to take exactly 2 photos, preview it with the default check or x of using MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE(to remove the hassle of displaying it to an imageview, go back again to capture)

then only go back to the main activity, knowing the data that i had taken 2 photos/saved it.

however, when i used that for loop, it returned only the last image taken, and it resized 2 times( i have a code that resizes 25% of the original captured photo, so after the code executed, it resized to 6.25% of original(1/4 of 25%) before it returns to the main activity).

Can someone give me light what is happening and give me a solution? Thanks a lot in advance! :D

As much as possible, i want to use the built in camera app, since it has a lot of other functions readily available compared to having the hassle of building your own custom camera. Btw im using android jellybean. 4.1.1

Call your second startActivityForResult() from the onActivityResult() you get from your first startActivityForResult(). Bear in mind that startActivityForResult() is asynchronous -- the other activity is not started right away.
