Android 2.3.1 Camera takePicture() Multiple images with one button click

Greetings. I am new to Android and haven't touched Java in a long time.

I'm working on an app specifically for the Nexus S with Android 2.3.1. I would like the app to take several photos quickly with little user input. At the moment I would like to be able to get 10 images from the camera as quickly as possible. In my code I have takePicture() being started like so:

takepicture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button); // created button from main.xml
takepicture.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ // creating useful button
    public void onClick(View view){
        mCamera.takePicture(mShutterCallback,mPictureCallback,mjpeg); // when clicked take picture
        }
});

This works for one image per click which is saved using

PictureCallback mjpeg = new PictureCallback() { // for compressed picture data
    public void onPictureTaken(byte[],data, Camera c { /*Saving image to internal sd card*/ }

I tried putting takePicture() in a for loop but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks in advance.

It is probably trying to take the second picture while taking the first one, and dismissing it. Wait a second or so between each takePicture() call. Or, much better, use the pictureCallback to fire the second takePicture()
