Using the TwitterWrapper class

Class:TwitterWrapper

Object:A twitter feed reader and updater based on the twitter4j libraries from: http://twitter4j.org.

Methods or Operations:

String[] getFeed() - returns most recent tweets in your feed.

void setStatus(String s) - updates current status

Declaration and initialization:

TwitterWrapper twitter = new TwitterWrapper("[public key]","[private key]");

NOTE: You must replace the strings "[public key]" and "[private key]" with the correct public and private key for the CSC103 Twitter App. I have posted this information in the Assignments section of eLearn for the course. I can't put this information out on the web unfortunately. Example:

public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    TwitterWrapper twitter = new TwitterWrapper("[public key]","[private key]"); // <--- REPLACE WITH CORRECT KEYS FROM ELEARN
    
    // Get and display tweets:
    String[] tweets = twitter.getTweets();
    System.out.println("--- Twitter Feed ---");
    for (int i=0; i<tweets.length; i++)
    {
       System.out.println(tweets[i]);
    }

	// Set status
    twitter.setStatus("Computer Science rocks...");
  }

This will get and display most recent tweets and update your twitter status.

NOTE: As part of running this program you have to authenticate with Twitter:

TwitterWrapper object will display a URL that you must cut and paste into a browser.
The URL will allow you to log you into twitter with your userid and password.
The URL will then display a PIN which you must cut and paste into a prompt from the TwitterWrapper object.

NOTE: You must make Dr. Java aware of the twitter4j libraries that are included with the TwitterWrapper class.

Goto DrJava drop down menu
Select Preferences
Press the ADD button and use the file selector to select each jar file that was included with the TwitterWrapper class.
You should select a total of 5 jar files
Press the APPLY button
Press the OK button
If you get an error during compile time stating that twitter4j.xxx does not exist, then you haven't added the jar file correctly.
