Question

I have figured out how to send tweets and how to return the users Home Timeline. To return the timeline you just do the following :-

timeline = t4j.getHomeTimeline(); 

( where t4j is the twitter4j java object )

However in order to automate this ( i.e. call the timeline every 5 mins) i need to pass the last twitter ID to getHomeTimeline.

In the twitter4j JAVA examples there is the following java :-

Paging paging = new Paging(2, 40);
List statuses = twitter.getHomeTimeline(paging);

so I tried :-

timeline = t4j.getHomeTimeline(sid);    throws a method not found or overloaded error
timeline = t4j.getHomeTimeline(1, sid); throws a method not found or overloaded error

sid = JavaCast("long", session.homeTimeline_sid);
timeline = t4j.getHomeTimeline(sid); throws a method not found or overloaded error

timeline = t4j.getHomeTimeline().Paging('sinceID',sid); Again an error

Does anyone know the correct syntax for this ???

Was it helpful?

Solution

I figured out the syntax :-

        sid = JavaCast("long", session.homeTimeline_sid);
        tPaging = createObject("java", "twitter4j.Paging");
        tPaging.setSinceId(sid);
        timeline = t4j.getHomeTimeline(tPaging);
