A Simple How To:
The first thing we need to do is to create an application within your twitter account, grant it access and generate authentication tokens (although, the consumer tokens will also work and it will be automatically generated upon creating the application).
1) Create an Application in your twitter account: Go To > Settings > Applications > Developers > “here”. You must login with your twitter account (or the account that you will use in your API).
2) Create your application: Enter required fields.
3) A consumer keys will be given to you. if you’re only looking to read status updates, this is sufficient enough for your needs.
The Code:
For this example, I’m using Eclipse IDE.
1) Create a New Java Project and include the Twitter4j Library (download it here).
2) Create a class and check the code below:

And the Actual Twitter Feed:

I’m beginner in this field and I m using Twitter4j in Eclipse in order to get tweet data for a university project I’m doing and I have stumbled upon a problem. I have successfully created a Twitter Application and obtained the keys; I have included the “twitter4j-core-4.0.4.jar” in the Project by created a lib folder and adding the JAR to it using ‘build path’ > ‘add external archives’ I have built the project and found no errors, however when I run the application as Java Application I get the following message in ‘Console’; ” GetUserStatus [Java Application] C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe” Does… Read more »
