When you call public void uploadImage() check

String image = null;
String image1 = null;
    if(bitmap != null)
        image = getStringImage(bitmap);
    if(bitmap1 != null)
        image1 = getStringImage1(bitmap1);

also Check

if(image != null)
    param.put(KEY_IMAGE,image);
if(image1 != null)
    param.put(KEY_IMAGE1,image1);

String result = rh.sendPostRequest(UPLOAD_URL, param);

and then also in php check if

KEY_IMAGE

and

KEY_IMAGE1

exists then do whatever you want to do, otherwise php will throw an error for undefined index.

You are selecting one image and uploading two in uploadimage method...

just use below code it will work for you..

String image1 = "";
     if(bitmap1!=null)
     image1 = getStringImage1(bitmap1);
