Tutorial step by step with free source code, pictures and video: how to set viewFlipper as live wallpaper on a button click in Android Studio version 1.5.1. The idea of this project is to have two activities: in first the button, which on click will open the second activity where the slideshow with live wallpapers will start. Create New Project with Application name: ViewFlipper on Button Click; Minimum SDK: API 10 – Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). Add 5 pictures from your computer, in project folder app->res->drawable:  picture1.jpg,  picture2.jpg, picture3.jpg, picture4.jpg, picture5.jpg and back.jpg (for background of your app). Create New Java Class with Name: Slideshow and complete the code:
package com.example.toyo.viewflipperonbuttonclick;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ViewFlipper;

public class Slideshow extends Activity {

    ViewFlipper viewFlipper;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);

        viewFlipper = (ViewFlipper) this.findViewById(R.id.viewFlipper);

        //sets auto flipping
        viewFlipper.setAutoStart(true);
        viewFlipper.setFlipInterval(3000);
        viewFlipper.startFlipping();
    }
}

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"

                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:id="@+id/imageView3"
                android:scaleType="centerCrop"
                android:src="@drawable/picture3"/>
