This is manifest file code for app to get consider you are sending images to your app



    

    
        
            
                
                 
                 
            
            
                
            
        
    



Program code...

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Log.d("MainActivity", "on Create ");

        if (Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE.equals(getIntent().getAction())&& getIntent().hasExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM))
        {
                ArrayList list =
                        getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
                            for (Parcelable parcel : list) {
                               Uri uri1 = (Uri) parcel;
                               Log.d("MainActivity", "on Create uri1 " + uri1);
                               String sourcepath=getPath(uri1);
                               Log.d("MainActivity", "on Create sourcepath " + sourcepath);
                               /// do things here with each image source path.
                           }
                            //Commented by Aishwary coz I want to open the app after selecting images otherwise uncomment to just select 
                            //finish();
            }else{
                // This part is of single image by Aishwary
                Uri imageUri =(Uri) getIntent().getExtras().get(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);
                Log.d("MainActivity", "on Create ImageUri " + imageUri);
            }
            }

    public  String getPath(Uri uri) {
        String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
        startManagingCursor(cursor);
        int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
        }

    }

This will allow you to get source path and images url . Now you can make array for url and use this url as you want...
