Answer 1

The below code is solved my problem..:)

   String pageCount = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='paginationPageCount']")).getText();
        String[] count = pageCount.split(" ");
        int s = Integer.valueOf(count[3]);
        int k =0;
            if(k < s){
                int attempts = 0;
                 while(attempts < 2) {
                        try {
                            Actions actions = new Actions(driver); 
                            actions.click(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Next']"))).build().perform();
                            break;
                        } catch(StaleElementReferenceException e) {
                        }
                        attempts++;
                    }
                WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10000);
                wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//button[text()='Next']")));
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[text()='Next']")).click(); 
            k++;
            }

Answer 2

Seems like there are more than one element with the id "paginationNext". Try replacing the xpath with the css locator

css=button.pagination2_next

If this also does not work, please share a part of the HTML code to arrive at a xpath/css selector that would locate the element you're looking for precisely.

You have a data-selenium attribute. It would make the most sense to use that.

webDriver.findElements(By.xpath("//element[@data-selenium='pagination-next-btn']"));
