      */

    File pictures = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
                            //Get a top-level public external storage directory for placing files of a particular type. 
                            // This is where the user will typically place and manage their own files, 
                            // so you should be careful about what you put here to ensure you don't 
                            // erase their files or get in the way of their own organization...
                            // pulled from Standard directory in which to place pictures that are available to the user to the File object

                            String[] listOfPictures = pictures.list();
                            //Returns an array of strings with the file names in the directory represented by this file. The result is null if this file is not a directory.

                            Uri uri=null; 
                            ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
                            if (listOfPictures!=null) {
                                for (String name : listOfPictures) {
                                    uri = Uri.parse("file://" + pictures.toString() + "/" + name );
                                    arrayList.add(uri);
                                }
                                Intent intent = new Intent();
                                intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
                                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, arrayList);
                                //A content: URI holding a stream of data associated with the Intent, used with ACTION_SEND to supply the data being sent.
                                intent.setType("image/*"); //any kind of images can support.
                                chooser = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Multiple Images");//choosers title
                                 startActivity(chooser);
                            }
