RecyclerView addOnScrollListener with FirebaseRecyclerAdapter

Question

I'm writing a program, where I'm fetching data from Firebase Database using FirebaseRecyclerAdapter

I'm trying to implement a functionality to add 20 records on every scroll and to achieve same, I'm using:

mDatabaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Users");
queryUsersData = mDatabaseReference.orderByChild("timestamp").limitToFirst(20); 

Now, the issue is I'm getting first 20 records, but on scroll I'm not getting next 20 records, as on every scroll, I want to get next 20 records

onStart()

FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<Users, UsersViewHolder> adapter = new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<Users, UsersViewHolder>(
                Users.class,
                R.layout.user_layout,
                UsersViewHolder.class,
                queryUsersData
        ) {

            @Override
            protected void populateViewHolder(UsersViewHolder usersViewHolder, Users users, int position) {
                 final String userID = getRef(position).getKey();
                 ....
            }
      };
      usersList.setAdapter(adapter);
}

RecyclerView addOnScrollListener

Boolean isScrolling = false;
int currentItems, totalItems, scrollOutItems;

..........

usersList.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
            @Override
            public void onScrollStateChanged(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
                super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);
                if(newState == AbsListView.OnScrollListener.SCROLL_STATE_TOUCH_SCROLL) {
                    isScrolling = true;
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onScrolled(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
                super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
                currentItems = linearLayoutManager.getChildCount();
                totalItems = linearLayoutManager.getItemCount();
                scrollOutItems = linearLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();

                if(isScrolling && (currentItems + scrollOutItems == totalItems)) {
                    isScrolling = false;
                }

            }
        });

Now what to do next ? to achieve my goal!

Pagination will achieve want you want cleanly and reliably, I've recently used it with Kotlin, but there is a java implementation here.
