How to change the starting page of Windows 8 app? - windows-8

I would like to change the starting page of my app. Instead of Page1.xaml I want page2.xaml to open by default when the app starts. Is there any way to do this??

You can find the answer in this post. You have to change it in the App.xaml.cs in the OnLaunched method

Initially I tried changing window.icon in package.json file, but then I came to know that it is used only once, i.e. on app load. So that did not work.
Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance
Window.requestAttention(Boolean attention) is what I was looking for.
It worked for me.

Create a Uri in your ViewModel, and have your Background's ImageBrush bind to this Uri. Then, on app startup, have your app just change the Uri to whatever new image you want, using whatever logic you want.
Also, when using ImageSource as you mentioned in the comments, you should be using SetSource.

Nope, apps can not do anything outside their sandbox.
As the answer to this question explains, you can launch your page you want to save in Safari and provide users with instructions to save the page from there, then use a url to switch apps back to your app from Safari afterwards, but you can't add a webapp to the springboard from your app itself
