Adding multiple images as an email attachment

Question

I have this code which I was testing, the purpose of it is to use the camera to take some photos and then pass it to the email app, the problem that I am facing is that only the 2nd picture gets attached and I know that the reason is I am using the intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri); twice like this intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri2); but I couldn't figure any other way to do it, I tried ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE it just opens the mail app with no attachments.

below is the full code: MainActivity.java:
