Step 1

Extend the controller class to SObjectPaginator for which you want to implement pagination and implement the methods

void begingList();
void nextList();
void prevList();
void lastList();

• Extending the controller class to SObject Paginator

• Implement the abstract methods

Step 2

• set the limit size by calling super class contructor.
• set the records of the list for which you want to apply pagination using the following method and call run() method

// set limit size
super(20);

// set the records
void setRecords(List<SObject>);

// call the run() method
run();

Step 3

• Initially when you pass the list of SObject records you want to paginate, the SObjectPaginator will create an initial list consisting of 1st limit size records.
• get the records by accessing the limitRecords list using getLimitRecords() method which will return List of SObjects.
• after getting the records you need to cast the SObject to your respective SObject type.

Step 4

• Implement the abstract methods in controller

public void begingList();
public void nextList();
public void prevList();
public void lastList();

• call the beginning(), next(), previous() and last() super class methods in the begingList(), nextList(), prevList() and lastList() methods respectively.
• After calling the methods, get the limitRecords list from the SObjectPaginator using getLimitRecords() method which will return List of SObjects and cast the SObject to respective SObject type
• Dont forget to clear the list in your controller class in every method.

Step 5

• Comming to the visualforce page, you can call the methods begingList(), nextList(), prevList() and lastList() implemented in your controller class.
• To disable the pagination buttons dynamically according to the list you can bind disabled attribute with the getDisableNext() and getDisablePrevious() methods available in SObjectPaginator class.

public Boolean getDisableNext()
public Boolean getDisablePrevious()
