How to add “Set as” or “Set picture as” Option inside my android app ImageView

Question

My app shows an image inside an Image View. I want users to select set picture as option from withing the app itself. Like this

How can I add "set as" popup menu so that users can directly set the image as wallpaper? Image is already stored in Drawable folder.

You can use following code for "set picture as". Here I am taking the screenshot of the current activity. Then I am storing that activity as bitmap. After that I am providing that activity to intent for "Set As Option"

On button Click :

OnButtonClick(){
ImageProcessing imageProcessing = new ImageProcessing();
            Bitmap bitmap = imageProcessing.takeScreenshot(getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(R.id.view_thought));
            imageProcessing.saveBitmap(bitmap);
            Intent intent = imageProcessing.setAsOption(this,imageProcessing.getSavedImagePath());
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Set image as"), 200);
}

Implement a new class ImageProcessing

public class ImageProcessing {
private File imagesPath;
public void saveBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
    imagesPath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/screenshot.jpg");
    FileOutputStream fos;
    try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream(imagesPath);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.e("POS", e.getMessage(), e);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("POS", e.getMessage(), e);
    }
}
public File getSavedImagePath(){
    imagesPath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/screenshot.jpg");
    return imagesPath;
}

public Bitmap takeScreenshot(View rootView) {
    rootView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
    return rootView.getDrawingCache();
}
public Intent setAsOption(Context cntxt,File imagesPath){
    /*File imagesPath = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/screenshot.jpg");*/
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_ATTACH_DATA);
    if(imagesPath.exists()){
        Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(cntxt, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID+".Utility.GenericFileProvider",imagesPath);

        intent.setDataAndType(contentUri, "image/jpg");
        intent.putExtra("mimeType", "image/jpg");
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    }else {
        Toast.makeText(cntxt,"Not a wallpaper",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    return intent;
}

}

In menifest add :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
