I won't write about technical details too much(you can check official docs), think this writing like a guide that shows just steps.
The Paging library helps you load and display pages of data from a larger dataset from local storage or over network. This approach allows your app to use both network bandwidth and system resources more efficiently.
I'm assuming you know Hilt-Dagger because in this project we are going to use it for dependency Injection,
First things first, we need to make build.gradle implementation
//Pager
implementation "androidx.paging:paging-runtime-ktx:3.1.1"Next, we need to make network setup with Retrofit quickly.

Paging Source
In PagerSource class we need to inject PokedexApi. So we can get the data with getPokedexList function.
Pager
In our repository class, we inject PokedexApi again and using PokedexPagingSource as pagingSourceFactory. We make configurations like page size etc. in this class.
PagingDataAdapter
In adapter class we make the binding between data and recycler view.
ViewModel
Fragment
I hope this article is clear enough to help you to learn how to implement pagination. You can find full code on my GitHub.
