Feature Request: Provide Paging-Support

When you have a lot of contacts, loading them all at once can take some time. For that reason, I would like to use paging. Therefore it would be really nice if a method could be provided which may look a bit like this:

    public fun fetchContactsPaged(
        predicate: ContactPredicate? = null,
        columnsToFetch: List<ContactColumn> = emptyList(),
        displayNameStyle: DisplayNameStyle = DisplayNameStyle.Primary,
        pageSize: Int,
        offset: Int,
    ): FetchRequest<List<Contact>>

allowing the caller to pass a page size (how many records should be fetched) and an offset (assuming the contacts are sorted by displayName).

Thanks for the help 😃. Works like a charm, now.

Yes that is the case and makes sense. Yes it is for the contact-list screen, so I will avoid ContactColumn.Names and just use displayname, thanks 👍 I anyway load the details for the detail-screen later when I just have to do it for 1 contact. I just thought, I needed the Names from the beginning.

That should solve the problem: thanks a lot for the help 😃.
