This example modify from the post "Restore default build-in wallpaper", to add function to set wallpaper using resource inside APK.


Create /res/raw/ folder in your Android Studio project. Refer: Android Studio error: Expected resource of type raw

Modify layout/activity_main.xml to add button to "Load Wallpaper from from Resources".
