Well, this is an old question, but I guess this might be still useful to somebody. I just released the source code for my multiple image selection activity. You can find it in the following GitHub repo:

I hope it's useful for you!

This one is good solution. Still it needs somewhat improvement as its not a smoother while scrolling down/up. – Paresh Mayani Oct 10 '12 at 07:27
@PareshMayani true, but that's related to the thumbnail request method. I'll someday recode it for making it async. – David Erosa Oct 11 '12 at 10:36
I did it already :) Will post article for the same on my blog. – Paresh Mayani Oct 11 '12 at 11:50

I have a question, how do i integrate this so that its can be started by a startActivityForResult() – Thuita Wachira May 02 '13 at 12:49

 Cursor imagecursor1 = managedQuery(
    MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, null,
    null, orderBy + " DESC");

   this.imageUrls = new ArrayList<String>();
  imageUrls.size();

   for (int i = 0; i < imagecursor1.getCount(); i++) {
   imagecursor1.moveToPosition(i);
   int dataColumnIndex = imagecursor1
     .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
   imageUrls.add(imagecursor1.getString(dataColumnIndex));
  }

   options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
  .showStubImage(R.drawable.stub_image)
  .showImageForEmptyUri(R.drawable.image_for_empty_url)
  .cacheInMemory().cacheOnDisc().build();

   imageAdapter = new ImageAdapter(this, imageUrls);

   gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.PhoneImageGrid);
  gridView.setAdapter(imageAdapter);
