Using Views module (Drupal 7) to display php array

Question

I have a php array (let's call it $people) that I specifically created from LinkedIn API. The fact is I don't want to record it in my own database due to the huge amount of data and I don't want to use a Cron to update results.

So, the problem is I want to display results from my php array in a filterable/sortable table. Notice: I can parameter this array to catch results from a START parameter with a COUNT parameter; this is mandatory for the pagination.

How to use Views module of Drupal 7 to do that? Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't get the exact question but assuming you want to display some data in a paginated table, I can give you some hints. You can try the theme_table() to render a paginated table. Here is rough sample code https://drupal.org/node/156863

Integration with views in a relatively complex task. Easiest way is to go with https://drupal.org/project/data. But if you want integrate more, then start with the hook_views_data()
