This code is in groovy, so most likely you will need to do some rework. The first param is a url, the second is a counter to limit the tries.

public boolean selectWindow(window, maxTries) {
    def handles
    int tries = 0
    while (true) {
        try {
            handles = driver.getWindowHandles().toArray()
            for (int a = handles.size() - 1; a >= 0 ; a--) { // Backwards is faster with FF since it requires two windows
                try {
                    Log.logger.info("Attempting to select window: " + window)
                    driver.switchTo().window(handles[a]);
                    if (driver.getCurrentUrl().equals(window))
                        return true;
                    else {
                        Thread.sleep(2000)
                        tries++
                    }
                    if (tries > maxTries) {
                        Log.logger.warn("Cannot select page")
                        return false
                    }
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    Thread.sleep(2000)
                    tries++
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception ex2) {
            Thread.sleep(2000)
            tries++
        }
    }
    return false;
}
