Question

I have started learning Twitter4j API and have got all credentials and tokens from Twitter to use it.
Now i am trying to get a timeline of my friend using a simple java program and print it on console.

       ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
       cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
           .setOAuthConsumerKey(consumerKey)
           .setOAuthConsumerSecret(consumerSecret)
           .setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken)
           .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(accessSecret);
     try 
     {
          TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
          Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance();
          String[] srch = new String[] {"usernameoffriend"};
          ResponseList<User> users = twitter.lookupUsers(srch);
          for (User user : users) {
            System.out.println("Friend's Name " + user.getName()); // this print my friends name
                if (user.getStatus() != null) 
                {
                System.out.println("Friend timeline");
                List<Status> statusess = twitter.getFriendsTimeline();
                for (Status status3 : statusess) 
                 {
                        System.out.println(status3.getText());
                 }
    }
}

The code is not giving errors. But instead of printing my Friend’s Timeline it is printing MY own Timeline.
I am using getFriendsTimeline() . Then why it is not printing my Friend’s Timeline.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

getFriendsTimeline() is deprecated on the latest build of twitter4j, use getUserTimeLine();

So to get TimeLine of friend: getUserTimeline("pseudo")

 ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
           cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
               .setOAuthConsumerKey(consumerKey)
               .setOAuthConsumerSecret(consumerSecret)
               .setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken)
               .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(accessSecret);
         try 
         {
              TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
              Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance();
              String[] srch = new String[] {"usernameoffriend"};
              ResponseList<User> users = twitter.lookupUsers(srch);
              for (User user : users) {
                System.out.println("Friend's Name " + user.getName()); // this print my friends name
                    if (user.getStatus() != null) 
                    {
                    System.out.println("Friend timeline");
                    List<Status> statusess = twitter.getUserTimeline(user.getName());
                    for (Status status3 : statusess) 
                     {
                            System.out.println(status3.getText());
                     }
        }
    }
