Calls to the Twitter REST API can be performed via this class although currently
support for authentication isn’t implemented due to the transition to oAuth instead
of basic authentication.
Method details
initToken
public static String initToken(String consumerKey, String consumerSecret)Logs in to twitter as an application
Parameters
consumerKey String- the key to login with
consumerSecret String- the secret to to login with
Returns
the authorization token
setToken
public static void setToken(String token)For every request twitter now needs an authorization token
Parameters
token String- the token
equals
public boolean equals(Object o)Indicates whether some other object is “equal to” this one.
The equals method implements an equivalence relation: It is reflexive: for any reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true. It is symmetric: for any reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. It is transitive: for any reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true. It is consistent: for any reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.
The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x==y has the value true).
hashCode
public int hashCode()Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.
The general contract of hashCode is: Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application. If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result. It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.
As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)
getStatusesCount
public int getStatusesCount()Returns the number of statuses within the response
Returns
the number of statuses
getStatus
public Hashtable<String, Object> getStatus(int offset)Returns the status at the given offset
Parameters
offset int- the offset for the status
Returns
the status hashtable
getIdStr
public String getIdStr()Gets the id string of the first entry which is important if we want to set the id
to start with in the next request
Returns
the id of the first entry
