Pagination using offset in salesforce

Use Case :

     Add pagination to display limited number of records in a VisualForce page.

Solution :

     Query only limited set of records using the offset in SOQL.

Code :

Controller

Private Integer listSize=50; //listSize determines the number of records to display.

Private Integer accountCounter=0; // Determines how many records to be skipped
Private Integer accountTotalSize=0; // Stores the total number of records in the org

Public list<Account> allCompanyList = new list<Account>(); //Account list to display the current set of records

public PageReference accountList(){                     

    if(allCompanyList !=null){
        allCompanyList.clear();
    }
    if(accountTotalSize != 0){
        accountTotalSize = [Select count() from Account ];
    }

    allCompanyList = [Select Id,Name from Account                                                   order by Name                        limit : listSize offset : accountCounter];       return null;}   
//account navigation methods

//Diables the previous buttons if there is no record previous than current list
public Boolean getDisablePreviousAccount(){
    if(accountCounter==0)
    return true;
    else
    return false;
}

//Diables the next buttons if there is no record next to current list
public Boolean getDisableNextAccount(){

    if((accountTotalSize <= listSize) || ((accountCounter +  listSize) >= accountTotalSize))
    return true;
    else
    return false;
}


//Displays the next set of records
public void nextAccount(){

    accountCounter=accountCounter+listSize;
    accountList();
}

//Displays the previous set of records
public void previousAccount(){
    accountCounter=accountCounter-listSize;
    accountList();
}

//Displays the last set of records irrespective of current position
public void  nextLastAccount(){

    if(math.mod(accountTotalSize, listSize) ==0){
    accountCounter = ((accountTotalSize/listSize)-1)_listSize;
    }
    else if(math.mod(accountTotalSize, listSize) !=0) {
    accountCounter = (accountTotalSize/listSize)_listSize;
    }    accountList();
}

//Displays the first set of records irrespective of current position
public void previousFirstAccount(){
    accountCounter=0;
    accountList();
}
