Intent for opening the watch face picker in Android Wear

As part of an app I'm working on, I'd like to programmatically open the watch face picker on an Android Wear watch (typically achieved by long-pressing on the current watch face). Note that I'm not trying to programmatically change the watch face, but just open the picker so that the user can choose a new watch face.

I'm familiar with using intents to start activities in Android, and I believe I need to do something like this:

Intent intent = new Intent("???");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

I just don't know what to substitute in for "???" in the code above.

Watch faces are just specialized wallpapers, so you can use all the Android facilities that are available for wallpapers. In this case you want to use Intent.ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Wallpaper"));
