I'm in a tricky situation where my org has more than 2,000 records for objects which I'm trying to fetch in my Android native app

RestRequest restRequest = RestRequest.getRequestForQuery( getString(R.string.api_version), soql);

and then I get the response using

RegistrationActivity.client.sendAsync(restRequest, new AsyncRequestCallback() { @Override public void onSuccess(RestRequest request, RestResponse result) { }

This approach suffers the limitation that it can only return 2,000 records in the SOQL. In the response, I'm getting the nextRecordsUrl in the response and I can retrieve it as

nextRecordsUrl =result.asJSONObject().getString("nextRecordsUrl").toString();

Now, my understanding is that I will need to fire HTTP GET requests to this URL using this approach

Http h = new Http(); HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); req.setEndpoint("http://na1.salesforce.com" + nextRecordsUrl); req.setMethod('GET'); req.setHeader('Authorization', 'OAuth ' + UserInfo.getSessionId()); req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); HttpResponse res = h.send(req);

and then parse the response.

While this approach is theoretically possible, I'm not very keen on mixing 2 approaches - getting the initial records using RestClient getRequestForQuery() method and follow up data (more than 2,000 records) using the HttpRequest method.

Can anyone guide me on the correct/ coherent way of fetching object data (more than 2,000 records) in a native force.com Android app?
