On Android, Display.getInstance().openGallery() does not allow multiple selection
The following code allows multiple image selection on iOS and the emulator. On Android the Gallery window opens but only one image can be selected - even if you long press. If you open Gallery manually (outside of the codenameone app) then multiple selection is available.
Display.getInstance().openGallery((e) ->
if(e != null && e.getSource() != null)
String files = (String)e.getSource();
String filenames = "";
for (int i=0; i < files.length; i++) ";
System.out.println("selected filenames:" + filenames);
, CN1Constants.GALLERY_ALL_MULTI);
A call to :
isGalleryTypeSupported(CN1Constants.GALLERY_ALL_MULTI)
returns true

This is a limitation of Androids intent system. When you pick from a gallery the first time around it should prompt you with an option to select the gallery app. Some gallery apps just don't support multi-selection.
You can clear the associations for the app from the system settings to trigger that prompt again. Then select a different application which will hopefully resolve that issue.
Unfortunately, due to the way Android works this is the only reasonable workaround.
