Firebase android pagination
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 the code I thought would work
private void getVideos() {
Query videosQuery = FirebaseUtil.getVideosRef();
videosQuery.startAt(0);
videosQuery.endAt(1);
ChildEventListener videosChildEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
String date = dataSnapshot.getKey();
String temp = date;
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
@Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.d(tag, "database error");
}
};
ValueEventListener videoValueEventListener = new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
String date = dataSnapshot.getKey();
String temp = date;
long count = dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
String value = dataSnapshot.getValue().toString();
temp = value;
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.d(tag, "database error");
}
};
// videosQuery.addChildEventListener(videosChildEventListener);
videosQuery.addValueEventListener(videoValueEventListener);
}
But above code retrieves entire list of videos instead of limited videos. How can pagination be implemented.

If you want to get list from firebase realtime database descending with pagination you need use smth like this:
Query query = myRef.child("stories").orderByChild("takenAt").endAt(1600957136000L).limitToLast(30);
Full code, two requests
List<Story> storyList = new ArrayList<>();
FirebaseDatabase database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
DatabaseReference myRef = database.getReference();
//first request will be look like this
Query query = myRef.child("stories").orderByChild("takenAt").endAt(1600957136000L).limitToLast(30);
query.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
for (DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
Story story = snapshot.getValue(Story.class);
storyList.add(story);
}
}
Collections.reverse(storyList);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError error) {
Log.e("ptg", "onCancelled: ", error.toException());
}
});
//second request
long lastTakenAtInTheStoryList = storyList.get(storyList.size()-1).getTakenAt();
Query query2 = myRef.child("stories").orderByChild("takenAt").endAt(lastTakenAtInTheStoryList).limitToLast(30);
query2.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
@Override
public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
if (dataSnapshot.exists()) {
for (DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
Story story = snapshot.getValue(Story.class);
storyList.add(story);
}
}
Collections.reverse(storyList);
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError error) {
Log.e("ptg", "onCancelled: ", error.toException());
}
});

In the past (but no longer) a question regarding implementing Pagination to a query on Firestore was marked as a duplicate of this question I will answer for FireStore here.
Paginate a query on android Firestore
Query query = db.collection("cities")
.orderBy("population")
.limit(25);
Query next = query;
private void loadCities() {
query = next;
query.get()
.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(QuerySnapshot documentSnapshots) {
// Get the last visible document
DocumentSnapshot lastVisible =
documentSnapshots.getDocuments()
.get(documentSnapshots.size() -1);
// Construct a new query starting at this document,
// get the next 25 cities.
next = db.collection("cities")
.orderBy("population")
.startAfter(lastVisible)
.limit(25);
}
});
}
Now just call the loadCities() method whenever you need to load more cities.

You can achieve it by using Firebase database paging library as below code...
In this code, I have shown Post as an data model item and PostViewHolder as ViewHolder
//Initialize RecyclerView
mRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
mRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager mManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
mRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mManager);
//Initialize Database
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("posts");
//Initialize PagedList Configuration
PagedList.Config config = new PagedList.Config.Builder()
.setEnablePlaceholders(false)
.setPrefetchDistance(5)
.setPageSize(10)
.build();
//Initialize FirebasePagingOptions
DatabasePagingOptions<Post> options = new DatabasePagingOptions.Builder<Post>()
.setLifecycleOwner(this)
.setQuery(mDatabase, config, Post.class)
.build();
//Initialize Adapter
mAdapter = new FirebaseRecyclerPagingAdapter<Post, PostViewHolder>(options) {
@NonNull
@Override
public PostViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
return new PostViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_list, parent, false));
}
@Override
protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull PostViewHolder holder,
int position,
@NonNull Post model) {
holder.setItem(model);
}
@Override
protected void onLoadingStateChanged(@NonNull LoadingState state) {
switch (state) {
case LOADING_INITIAL:
case LOADING_MORE:
// Do your loading animation
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(true);
break;
case LOADED:
// Stop Animation
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
break;
case FINISHED:
//Reached end of Data set
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
break;
case ERROR:
retry();
break;
}
}
@Override
protected void onError(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
super.onError(databaseError);
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
databaseError.toException().printStackTrace();
}
};
//Set Adapter to RecyclerView
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
Just visit this below URL for reference
https://firebaseopensource.com/projects/patilshreyas/firebaserecyclerpagination/app/readme.md/
Here you will find implementation of library which helps to implement Pagination of firebase data in RecyclerView
I hope this will help you!

accepted answear dos not work when less then the max. itmes (21) in database. this is my solution build on the accepted answer:
0)set variables
private String lastMessageKey;
private int totalItemCount;
private int lastVisibleItem;
private boolean isLoadingMoreFollowers = false;
private boolean hasMoreItems = true;
private boolean hasShownNoMoreItemsToast = false;
private boolean initialLoad = true;
private final int MAX_LOAD_ITEMS = 11;
private final int VISIBLE_TRESHOLD = 1;
1) set a listener:
private void setMessageListener() {
if (childEventListener == null) {
mmessageArrayList.clear();
final ArrayList<Mmessage> tempMmessages = new ArrayList<>();
query = mDatabaseInstace.getReference().child(chat1).child(F.CHATS).child(F.MESSAGES).orderByKey().limitToLast(MAX_LOAD_ITEMS-1);
childEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildAdded: -----------------> " + dataSnapshot);
Log.d(TAG, "onChildAdded: -----------------> " + s);
tempMmessages.add(dataSnapshot.getValue(Mmessage.class));
preloadMessagePics(tempMmessages);
if (initialLoad) {
lastMessageKey = tempMmessages.get(0).getMessagePushKey();
initialLoad = false;
}
mmessageArrayList.add(tempMmessages.size()-1, tempMmessages.get(0));
messageAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
tempMmessages.clear();
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildChanged: --------------------------------->");
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildRemoved: ---------------------------------->");
}
@Override
public void onChildMoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
Log.d(TAG, "onChildMoved: ------------------------------------>");
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCancelled: ------------------------------------->");
}
};
query.addChildEventListener(childEventListener);
}
}
2) set load more listener:
private void setLoadMoreListener(){
setup.RV_messages.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
@Override
public void onScrolled(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
totalItemCount = linearLayoutManager.getItemCount();
lastVisibleItem = linearLayoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition();
if (!isLoadingMoreFollowers && totalItemCount <= (lastVisibleItem+VISIBLE_TRESHOLD) && (totalItemCount >= MAX_LOAD_ITEMS-1)){
if (hasMoreItems) {
getMoreMessages();
Toast.makeText(homeActivity, "load more items", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else {
if (!hasShownNoMoreItemsToast) {
Toast.makeText(homeActivity, "has no more items", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
hasShownNoMoreItemsToast = true;
}
}
}
}
});
}
3) get more items:
private void getMoreMessages(){
final ArrayList<Mmessage> tempMmessages = new ArrayList<>();
isLoadingMoreFollowers = true;
loadMoreQuery = mDatabaseInstace.getReference().child(chat1).child(F.CHATS).child(F.MESSAGES).orderByKey().endAt(lastMessageKey).limitToLast(MAX_LOAD_ITEMS);
loadMoreChildEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
tempMmessages.add(dataSnapshot.getValue(Mmessage.class));
preloadMessagePics(tempMmessages);
if (tempMmessages.size() == MAX_LOAD_ITEMS){
lastMessageKey = tempMmessages.get(0).getMessagePushKey();
Collections.reverse(tempMmessages);
tempMmessages.remove(0);
mmessageArrayList.addAll(tempMmessages);
isLoadingMoreFollowers = false;
messageAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
tempMmessages.clear();
return;
}
if (lastMessageKey.equalsIgnoreCase(tempMmessages.get(tempMmessages.size()-1).getMessagePushKey())){
Collections.reverse(tempMmessages);
tempMmessages.remove(0);
mmessageArrayList.addAll(tempMmessages);
isLoadingMoreFollowers = false;
hasMoreItems = false;
messageAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
tempMmessages.clear();
}
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
@Override
public void onChildMoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
};
loadMoreQuery.addChildEventListener(loadMoreChildEventListener);
}
have fun!!

Android paging library can be used to implement pagination for data fetched from firebase database. Data is displayed in recycler view and paging component fetches pages in response to user scroll events.
Paging data source calls your firebase DAO object passing query parameters for the page to be displayed and results are passed back to paging component using callback provided to it.
Here is a complete example for reference http://www.zoftino.com/firebase-pagination-using-android-paging-library

This is how I implemented pagination from firebase database. Consider a case if we have 100 messages. So I first load last 20 messages from firebase i.e. 81 to 100. Then on scroll up I call getMoreMessages() function to load next 20 messages which are 61 to 80 and so on.
public class ChatActivity extends Activity {
String chat_id = "";

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<UserModel> 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.
I have written a complete guide with open source sample app on this that you can check at https://blog.shajeelafzal.com/2017/12/13/firebase-realtime-database-pagination-guide-using-recyclerview/

Below is the code I'm using for pagination which shows the latest node first.
public void getImages() {
Query imagesQuery = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("englishDps").child(mChildName).orderByKey().limitToLast(21);
ChildEventListener childEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
Image image = dataSnapshot.getValue(Image.class);
image.setNodeKey(dataSnapshot.getKey());
mTempImages.add(image);
if (mTempImages.size() == 21) {
mLastKey = mTempImages.get(0).getNodeKey();
Collections.reverse(mTempImages);
mTempImages.remove(mTempImages.size() - 1);
mImages.addAll(mTempImages);
setAdapter();
}
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
@Override
public void onChildMoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
if (isAdded()) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Problem loading more images...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
};
imagesQuery.addChildEventListener(childEventListener);
}
@Override
public void getMoreImages() {
if (!mGettingMoreImages) {
mGettingMoreImages = true;
Query imagesQuery = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("englishDps").child(mChildName).orderByKey().endAt(mLastKey).limitToLast(21);
ChildEventListener childEventListener = new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
Image image = dataSnapshot.getValue(Image.class);
image.setNodeKey(dataSnapshot.getKey());
mMoreImages.add(image);
if (mMoreImages.size() == 21) {
mLastKey = mMoreImages.get(0).getNodeKey();
Collections.reverse(mMoreImages);
mMoreImages.remove(mMoreImages.size() - 1);
mImages.addAll(mMoreImages);
mMoreImages.clear();
mGettingMoreImages = false;
mImagesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
return;
}
if (mLastKey.equalsIgnoreCase(image.getNodeKey())) {

mImages.addAll(mMoreImages);
mMoreImages.clear();

mImagesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
@Override

@Override
public void onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

}
}
};
imagesQuery.addChildEventListener(childEventListener);

You want to be using the limitToFirst/limitToLast methods to retrieve a limited number of results.
videosQuery.orderByKey().limitToFirst(20)
https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/api/query/limittofirst.html
You should really consider changing the naming convention of your videos to include leading 0s (i.e. video01, video02... video10, video11) because the above code will display them exactly as you have them above (which I assume is out of order?)
Alternatively, if you're adding the videos via Java, you could just let firebase create the uniqueids via push(). The uniqueid are generated in a way that they'll sort chronilogically, which sounds like it'll suit your need to grab the most recent(ly added?) videos.
