How To Create Easy Pagination In Jetpack Compose

This tutorial demonstrates how to implement pagination in Jetpack Compose without using the Paging 3 library, especially for scenarios where simplicity and control are preferred. By utilizing Firestore queries and Compose's LazyColumn, this approach provides a lightweight and customizable solution for displaying long lists of data. The implementation involves creating a ViewModel to handle pagination logic, a MovieService for fetching data from Firestore, and a composable UI that includes a LazyColumn to display the movies and trigger data loading when the user scrolls to the bottom. The tutorial emphasizes the use of Firestore's native query capabilities, making it ideal for apps using Firebase. The custom pagination approach offers full control over data fetching and display, allowing developers to tailor the pagination behavior to their specific requirements.
