Twitter API Twitter4j getUserID

Question

I am using Twitter4j to get tweets from the user's I'm following. Getting 1000 per time, but I'm a bit stuck on how I would include user ID and username in the out put.

Here is the code I'm using in order to get the tweets:

try {
            ResponseList<Status> a = twitter.getHomeTimeline(new Paging(1,1000));

            for (Status b: a){
                System.out.println(b.getText());
            }
        }

Does anybody know what I'd have to add in order to output the ID, Username and then the Tweet?

Thanks Z19

You can get the id and user name using following methods.

User user = b.getUser() --> Return the user associated with the status. then using user.getId() and user.getName() you can get the id and user name.

try {
            ResponseList<Status> a = twitter.getHomeTimeline(new Paging(1,1000));

            for (Status b: a){
                long userId = b.getUser().getId();// user Id
                String userName = b.getUser().getName(); // user name
                String tweetText = b.getText(); // tweet

                System.out.println(userId+" "+userName+" "+tweetText);
            }
        }
