Implementing pagination is very simple.

Take look at this...

public class MainActivity extends Activity {        private ListView listview;     private TextView title;     private ArrayList<String> data;     ArrayAdapter<String> sd;       public int TOTAL_LIST_ITEMS = 1030;     public int NUM_ITEMS_PAGE   = 100;     private int noOfBtns;     private Button[] btns;      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);          listview = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);         title    = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.title);          Btnfooter();          data = new ArrayList<String>();          /*          * The ArrayList data contains all the list items          */         for(int i=0;i<TOTAL_LIST_ITEMS;i++)         {             data.add("This is Item "+(i+1));         }          loadList(0);          CheckBtnBackGroud(0);      }      private void Btnfooter()     {         int val = TOTAL_LIST_ITEMS%NUM_ITEMS_PAGE;         val = val==0?0:1;         noOfBtns=TOTAL_LIST_ITEMS/NUM_ITEMS_PAGE+val;          LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.btnLay);          btns = new Button[noOfBtns];          for(int i=0;i<noOfBtns;i++)         {             btns[i] =   new Button(this);             btns[i].setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));             btns[i].setText(""+(i+1));              LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new     LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);             ll.addView(btns[i], lp);              final int j = i;             btns[j].setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {                  public void onClick(View v)                 {                     loadList(j);                     CheckBtnBackGroud(j);                 }             });         }      }      /**      * Method for Checking Button Backgrounds      */     private void CheckBtnBackGroud(int index)     {         title.setText("Page "+(index+1)+" of "+noOfBtns);         for(int i=0;i<noOfBtns;i++)         {             if(i==index)             {                 btns[index].setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.box_green));                 btns[i].setTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.white));             }             else             {                 btns[i].setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));                 btns[i].setTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.black));             }         }      }      /**      * Method for loading data in listview      * @param number      */     private void loadList(int number)     {         ArrayList<String> sort = new ArrayList<String>();          int start = number * NUM_ITEMS_PAGE;         for(int i=start;i<(start)+NUM_ITEMS_PAGE;i++)         {             if(i<data.size())             {                 sort.add(data.get(i));             }             else             {                 break;             }         }         sd = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,                 android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,                 sort);         listview.setAdapter(sd);     } }
