Question

Edit===========

Pasted from MANIFEST.MF file:

Main-Class: winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter
Implementation-Version: 2.9.0
Implementation-Title: JTwitter client library by Winterwell


Android Studio 0.2.9
jtwitter 2.9.0

Hello,

I have been following the marakana videos on creating a yamba client.

However, I have noticed that the getPublicTimeline api call has now been removed from the jtwitter as twitter no longer supports this. So I have tired to use an alternative instead but getting a error which I have cut and pasted below.

The different API I have tried is getFriendsTimeline, getHomeTimeline.

My code snippet I am using:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.status);

    edit_status = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
    tw = new Twitter("student", "password");
    tw.setAPIRootUrl("http://yamba.marakana.com/api");
}

public class GetHomeStatus extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String>
{
    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... statues)
    {
        int i = 0;
        List<winterwell.jtwitter.Status> timeline;

        try {
            timeline = twitter.getFriendsTimeline();
            //twitter.setStatus("Hello, there!");
        }
        catch (TwitterException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return "Failed to get timeline";
        }

I don't think there is a problem with the background thread, as twitter.setStatus("Hello, there!"); works fine.

Many suggestions would be most grateful

Solution

I was able to reproduce the said exception using JTwitter 2.9.0. Reason for my earlier suggestion was:

List<winterwell.jtwitter.Status> timeline;

I was using a modified version of JTwitter library: JTwitterYamba. This library does not contain winterwell.jtwitter.Status. Instead Status is an inner class defined in winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter making its fully qualified path: winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.Status. 

List<winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.Status> timeline;

So, instead of asking you to lose JTwitter jar and add JTwitterYamba jar, I suggested the exact opposite. Sorry about the confusion.

The problem:

Both libraries implement Twitter.getFriendsTimeline() differently. Here's what JTwitterYamba does:

public List<Status> getFriendsTimeline() throws TwitterException {

    // Take note of the URL suffix: /statuses/friends_timeline.json
    return getStatuses(TWITTER_URL + "/statuses/friends_timeline.json",
        standardishParameters(), true);
}

And, here's what JTwitter does:

@Deprecated
public List<Status> getFriendsTimeline() throws TwitterException {
    return getHomeTimeline();
}


public List<Status> getHomeTimeline() throws TwitterException {
    assert http.canAuthenticate();

    // The URL isn't the same
    return getStatuses(TWITTER_URL + "/statuses/home_timeline.json",
                         standardishParameters(), true);
}

What you can do to fix this:

You can remove JTwitter from your project and add JTwitterYamba jar: Link. You will have to change winterwell.jtwitter.Status to winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.Status.

Alternatively, you can check if modifying the library is allowed and possible for you. Add a public method that uses TWITTER_URL + "/statuses/friends_timeline.json" as one of the arguments for Twitter.getStatuses method.

OTHER TIPS

Marakana redirects to thenewcircle as they were acquired by twitter.

According to this page there are two things to try...

Get the .jar from the apk by right-clicking on your project, select Properties and go to Java build path. In there go to the tab Order and Export and check jtwiiter-yamba.jar. Also remove these hardcoded lines 

// twitter = new Twitter("student", "password");
// twitter.setAPIRootUrl("http://yamba.marakana.com/api");
