Maybe this will help you....

Consider the following method is in page called Functions.java

public static void waitForPageLoaded(WebDriver driver) {

         ExpectedCondition expectation = new
    ExpectedCondition() {
            public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
              return ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete");
            }
          };

          WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
          try {
                  wait.until(expectation);
          } catch(Throwable error) {
                  Assert.assertFalse(true, "Timeout waiting for Page Load Request to complete.");
          }
     } 

And you can call this method into your function. Since it is a static method, you can directly call with the class name.

public class Test(){
    WebDriver driver;

    @Test
    public void testing(){
         driver = new FirefoxDriver();
         driver.get("http://www.gmail.com");
         Functions.waitForPageLoaded(driver);
   }
}
