If you are interested in creating some type of paging functionality you will need a few things. First, i will assume you have some set of data that you want to page. Let's say you have an array of Objects that has 100 total elements.
You will most likely define a pageSize value that defines how many elements to display on the current page. You will also want to define a pageNumber to represent the current page that you are on.
So lets say that you have a pageSize = 10.
You should define some Java method in a class that has access to the complete array, which takes the pageSize and pageNumber as parameters, and returns an array of the same type.
For example, lets say you have a class called EmployeeSet
public class EmployeeSet
private Employee[] totalEmployeeSet;
public void setEmployeeSet
//some code that populates the totalEmployeeSet array
public Employee[] getEmployeeSet()
return totalEmployeeSet;
public Employee[] getCurrentEmployeePage(int pageSize, int pageNumber)
// some logic to check that parameters are within valid range
Employee[] currentEmployeeSet = new Employee[pageSize];
//now store the current range into your current set
//loop through the totalEmployeeSet starting at the correct
//point (pageNumber*pageSize), and store each element
//into the currentEmployeeSet
return currentEmployeeSet;
I left out some important logic to determine whether the inputs to the method are valid or not, and whether the current page can display 'pageSize' elements or not. I am sure you can figure that out.
I hope this helps some.
