How to Take Multiple Photos Before Dismissing Camera Intent

How to take multiple photos before dismissing camera intent?

I discovered through the SDK documentation that there's an alternative intent action for the device camera that launches the camera in still image mode and does not exit until the user is finished with the activity:

Intent intent = new Intent(
    MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA);
this.startActivity(intent);

Coupled with a ContentObserver this was exactly what I needed to accomplish.

Android: How to capture multiple photos with the same camera intent

making an intent to "INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA"

This is not really analogous to any of your other options. For example, you have no idea if any pictures were taken, where they were stored, etc.

as a consequence, I think that is not possible to control the interface or the behavior of the called app

Correct. This is the same as with ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE.

using the package "Camera2"

This is the same as "make a picture taking code by yourself", except that you identified a particular Android API for it.

It is possible for a beginner-intermediate developer to accomplish this task following one of the way mentionned above (or a different one)?

Use a third-party camera library (Fotoapparat, CameraKit-Android, etc.).

Android take multiple images and process them on return

How to process captured images?

Do not delegate your picture-taking to another app. Instead, you do it in your own app, such as via the camera APIs. Or, use your existing startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO); code and just call it again and again until the user stops taking pictures.

INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA just opens a camera app. You do not control where the images get stored, and the camera app does not have to store the images anywhere that your app can access them. It also does not have to tell you where it stored the images.
