Choose wallpaper instead of choosing live wallpaper?

Question

In Android there is a very convenient way of getting the user to choose and set a live wallpaper.

Intent intent = new Intent(WallpaperManager.ACTION_LIVE_WALLPAPER_CHOOSER);
startActivity(intent);

Is there a similar way for user to choose and set a wallpaper instead (or better yet, allow them to choose wallpaper/live wallpaper/gallery)?

Thanks!

Try this:

private void chooseWallpaper() {

final Intent pickWallpaper = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER);
Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(pickWallpaper, getText(R.string.chooser_wallpaper));
startActivityForResult(chooser, REQUEST_PICK_WALLPAPER);
}

Where is this REQUEST_PICK_WALLPAPER? – Lim Thye Chean Mar 14 '14 at 06:20
This seem to work (since I don't need the result): startActivity(Intent.createChooser(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER), getText(R.string.wallpaper))); – Lim Thye Chean Mar 14 '14 at 08:27
REQUEST_PICK_WALLPAPER is an integer,any integer as you wish. – tianwei Mar 14 '14 at 08:28
@LimThyeChean yes,REQUEST_PICK_WALLPAPER is just to get the result.StartActivity method is enough. – tianwei Mar 14 '14 at 08:29

Try this

public void setIt(){

Context c = this.getBaseContext();
Bitmap bp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), "your_array");
c.setWallpaper(bp);
}

Not sure whether I get you - WallpaperManager.ACTION_LIVE_WALLPAPER_CHOOSER allows user to choose an available live wallpaper, I am looking for a way to choose an available wallpaper (not creating my own). – Lim Thye Chean Mar 14 '14 at 06:21
