Visualforce Override button redirect to a lightning app

We have users in both Classic and Lightning using the standard "New" button on leads.  I need to override the standard "New" button and redirect the user to a lightning app.  I created a VF page action that will redirect the user to the lightning app.  Everything works great however for lightning users, the redirect opens a new tab in the browser.  How do I keep the redirect on the same browser window in lightning?  Do I need to create a VF page pulling in a lightning component?

Hello Tim, 

while redirect to lightining app you have make client call  not from server side. 

use below updated code. kinldy check and let me know  if its works. 
  
<apex:page standardController="Lead"  sidebar="true"  tabstyle="Lead">
 
 <script type="text/javascript">
   window.onload = function(){ 
   
   var Themstr= "{! $User.UIThemeDisplayed }";    
   if(Themstr == "Theme4d")
   {
   window.location = '/c/LeadSearchApp.app?src=Lead&type=lex';
   }
   else
   {
    window.location.href = '/c/LeadSearchApp.app?src=Lead&type=cla';
   }     
}
</script>
 
</apex:page>


Hope this will help you.  Mark it solved if its works for you.

Hi karthik,

my VF Page does not use any javascript code it is all done on the VF page action wich calls the action pagereference method on the controller.

Hi Karthik, I am not using javascript in a visualforce page. The VF Page just uses an action method call to the controller pageReference.

if possible could post your VF page and controller code?

Thanks

My VF Page:

<apex:page standardController="Lead" extensions="LeadExtension" sidebar="true" tabstyle="Lead" action="{!Action}">
</apex:page>

My Class:
public with sharing class LeadExtension {
        public PageReference Action(){ 
             string str = UserInfo.getUiThemeDisplayed();
             if(str == 'Theme4d'){
                return new PageReference('/c/LeadSearchApp.app?src=Lead&type=lex');       
             }else{
                return new PageReference('/c/LeadSearchApp.app?src=Lead&type=cla');     
             }                   
       }

Hi Karthik, the redirect for the lightning page works perfect however the link for classic gets stuck loading my VF Page
Any suggestions for getting that to go through?
