Question

I am currently making a test application to retrieve tweets from a Twitter account and display them on the screen.

All my code is working fine, but a few Tweets are being truncated.

Anyone aware of what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Code for retrieving tweets:

Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
List<Status> statuses = null;
try 
{
    statuses = twitter.getUserTimeline("usu_unitec");
} 
catch (TwitterException e) 
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}
ArrayList<String> news = new ArrayList<String>();
for (Status status : statuses) 
{
    news.add(status.getText());
}
return news;

Twitter account:

https://twitter.com/USU_Unitec

Example of Tweets being truncated:

were pretty blown away… Check out her… http …

Why not use the Twitter JSON or XML API call directly? with this you can fetch all Tweets in full length 🙂
