Joomla 2.5 pagination - joomla

Question

I want to add pagination to my component, i've created a simple model with query. I must be missing something. What else do I need here ?
MODEL
jimport('joomla.application.component.modellist');
class PaieskaModelPradinis extends JModelList
{
public function getListQuery()
{
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "SELECT * FROM #__content";
$db->setQuery( $query );
$db->query( $query );
$result = $db->LoadObjectList();
return $result;
}
}
VIEW
jimport( 'joomla.application.component.view');
class PaieskaViewPradinis extends JView
{
protected $items;
protected $pagination;
function display ($tpl = null)
{
$this->items = $this->get('ListQuery');
$this->pagination = $this->get('Pagination');
parent::display($tpl);
}
}
TPL
foreach ($this->items as $item) {
echo $item->title;
}
EDITED:
I edited a bit code, so now it works fine, almost. Button display(number of rows to display) is not working. And I wonder if this part can be done in a different way ?
$limit = JRequest::getVar('limit' , 25);
$start = JRequest::getVar('start' , 0);
$query = "SELECT * FROM #__content LIMIT $start, $limit";

$limit = JRequest::getVar('limit' , 25);
$start = JRequest::getVar('start' , 0);

$db->setQuery( $query );
$db->query( $query );
$lists = $db->LoadObjectList();
return $lists;
}
function getPagination()
{
$main = JFactory::getApplication();
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$limit = JRequest::getVar('limit' , 25);
$limitstart = JRequest::getVar('limitstart', 0);
$query = "SELECT count(title) FROM #__content";
$db->setQuery( $query );
$total = $db->loadResult();
// include a pagination library
jimport('joomla.html.pagination');
$pagination = new JPagination($total, $limitstart, $limit);
return $pagination;
}
}
VIEW
jimport( 'joomla.application.component.view');
class PaieskaViewPradinis extends JView
{
function display($tpl = null)
{
$this->items = $this->get('items');
$this->pagination = $this->get('pagination');
parent::display($tpl);
}
}

Answer 1

Going off your original code, not the edited version.
The getListQuery method only builds your database query, so you don't execute your query here. Use com_weblinks as an example for building out your model: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/2.5.x/components/com_weblinks/models/category.php

Answer 2

follow this link http://docs.joomla.org/J1.5:Using_JPagination_in_your_component properly.
I have used Joomla pagination. You'll be able to use Joomla pagination easily, if you follow documentation properly. BTW its very simple.
