Firebase android pagination

Question

I\'m building an app which will show videos stored on firebase. The list of videos needs to be paginated fetching most recent 20 videos at a time.

Here is

Answer 1

I have following method to paginate through a firebase realtime database node:

private void getUsers(String nodeId) {
        Query query;

        if (nodeId == null)
            query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference()
                    .child(Consts.FIREBASE_DATABASE_LOCATION_USERS)
                    .orderByKey()
                    .limitToFirst(mPostsPerPage);
        else
            query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference()
                    .child(Consts.FIREBASE_DATABASE_LOCATION_USERS)
                    .orderByKey()
                    .startAt(nodeId)
                    .limitToFirst(mPostsPerPage);

        query.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                UserModel user;
                List userModels = new ArrayList<>();
                for (DataSnapshot userSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
                    userModels.add(userSnapshot.getValue(UserModel.class));
                }

                mAdapter.addAll(userModels);
                mIsLoading = false;
            }

            @Override
            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
                mIsLoading = false;
            }
        });
    }

Every time I reach the bottom of the paginated data, I call the getUsers(mAdapter.getLastItemId()); and then it brings the next set of records.
