Apps How to get GridView with vertical pagination kind of like iOS Home Screen?

Patroy

Hello, I would like to develop launcher that behaves similar to iOS SpringBoard homeScreen, with app icons only and icons staying in order and so on. For now I'm looking for tools/solutions which I'll need to create my app and that seems to be harder than I thought.

Does anyone have idea how similar launchers in Google Play Store are created? How to get kind of paginated GridView with ability to drag and drop content between pages?
I was thinking about ViewPager or something but I'm not convinced about it.

I'm not looking for direct answer (but if anyone would have one then I will appreciate it), I'm looking for some little tips of how to go about it, maybe for some libraries, or source code (I was looking for several hours for some source but there is literally nothing)

cheers
 
Of course i did, but my concept is nothing like Basic launcher with list of icons in list or grid... It's Just Basic app with recyclerview populated by list of apps and with few additions in manifest to make system understood it's a launcher.

I'm not asking how to build a launcher but how to get that specifed behavior of pagination like ios Has...

I'm not totally android beginner, I have apps released on Google Play Store and some little experience in development
