On mainactivity file

On the mainactivity.java just call this function and imgPaths is array of images path.

 public void uploadFile(ArrayList<String> imgPaths) {

        String charset = "UTF-8";
        //File uploadFile1 = new File("e:/Test/PIC1.JPG");
        //File uploadFile2 = new File("e:/Test/PIC2.JPG");

        File sourceFile[] = new File[imgPaths.size()];
        for (int i=0;i<imgPaths.size();i++){
            sourceFile[i] = new File(imgPaths.get(i));
           // Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),imgPaths.get(i),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        String requestURL = "your API";

        try {
            FileUploader multipart = new FileUploader(requestURL, charset);

            multipart.addHeaderField("User-Agent", "CodeJava");
            multipart.addHeaderField("Test-Header", "Header-Value");

            multipart.addFormField("description", "Cool Pictures");
            multipart.addFormField("keywords", "Java,upload,Spring");

            for (int i=0;i<imgPaths.size();i++){
                multipart.addFilePart("uploaded_file[]", sourceFile[i]);
            }

            /*multipart.addFilePart("fileUpload", uploadFile1);
            multipart.addFilePart("fileUpload", uploadFile2);*/

            List<String> response = multipart.finish();

            System.out.println("SERVER REPLIED:");

            for (String line : response) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            System.err.println(ex);
        }
    }

uploader.php

foreach ($_FILES["uploaded_file"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
    if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
        $tmp_name = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["tmp_name"][$key];
        $name = $_FILES["uploaded_file"]["name"][$key];
    $file_path = "../post_uploaded_images/";
        $file_path = $file_path . $name;
            if(@move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $file_path)) 
            {
               echo "success";

            } else{

                echo "fail";
            }   
    }
