ok I feel real dumb, because its still not working


here is my whole code:

Code:

Twitter twitter;
String myTimeline;
User[] friends;
String username = "username"; // add your own here
String password = "pass"; // add your own here
twitter = new Twitter(username,password);


try
{
 java.util.List statuses = twitter.getUserTimeline(); 
}
	     for( int i=0; i<statuses.size(); i++ )
	     {
		   Status status = (Status)statuses.get(i);
		   println(status.getUser().getName() + ":" + status.getText());
	     }

catch( TwitterException e) { 
 println(e.getStatusCode());
}
 

I'm guessing i've missed a } or something somewhere because I get the error Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement

Thank you for all the help!

How is it going?  

that's just a scope problem - you define statuses within the try block so it's only available within that block.

you need to define it outside:

// define
java.util.List statuses;

try
{
 // set value
 statuses = twitter.getUserTimeline();
}
...

Code:

java.util.List statuses = null; 

import simpleML.*;
import processing.serial.*;
int time;
String lasttweet;
String[] check;
String[] titulo;
Serial port;

Twitter twitter;
User[] friends;
String username = "USER"; // add your own here
String password = "PASS"; // add your own here
java.util.List statuses = null;

twitter = new Twitter(username,password);

void setup(){ //resets a few vars, sets frameRate to 1 for the draw and inits the port for future comunication with arduino (not implemented yet)
println("Starting timer..");
frameRate(1);
int time = 0;
lasttweet = " ";
port = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[1], 9600);
}

void draw() {
 background(0);
 time++;
 if (time>=4){
   tweets(); // should call tweets function and show all the tweets from the friends_timeline
   time=0;
 }
}

void tweets(){ //Should be working fine. At least it did before i placed it on a function "void tweets()"
 
try
 {
  statuses = twitter.getFriendsTimeline();
 }
 catch( TwitterException e)
 {
  println(e.getStatusCode());
 }
 for( int i=0; i<statuses.size(); i++ )
 {
    Status status = (Status)statuses.get(i);
    println(status.getText());
 }
}

any ideas?

Ok. New Update.

Now i've made a small GUI so the user can insert the Username and password of his Twitter account. This makes it easy for anyone user "Birduino" http://cg-levelseven.blogspot.com/search/label/prt.sc wich is our school project. (videos and images available).
Code:

//############ Vars para Interface ###################
import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 controlP5;

int myColorBackground = color(30,30,30);
int corTitulo = color(40,100,155);
int corSubtitulo = color(54,132,55);
Textfield usernameTXB;
Textfield passwordTXB;
Textlabel tituloLABEL;
Textlabel subtituloLABEL;

//############ Vars para ligar ao Arduino e para o twitter ################

import simpleML.*;
import processing.serial.*;
int time;
String lasttweet;
String tweet;
String[] check;
String[] titulo;
Serial port;
int rate;
String bla;

Twitter twitter;
User[] friends;
String username;
String password;
//String username = "USERNAME";
//String password = "PASSWORD";

java.util.List statuses = null;

//FUNÇÃO PARA O SUBMIT DOS VALORES DAS CAIXAS DE TEXTO

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
  username = usernameTXB.getText();
  password = passwordTXB.getText();
  //println("\n\n Username: "+ usernameTXB.getText() + "\nPassword: " + passwordTXB.getText());
  
}


void setup(){
  
//#########CONFIGURA O INTERFACE###############
  size(400,300);
  frameRate(30);
  controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
  usernameTXB = controlP5.addTextfield("Username",100,160,200,20);
  usernameTXB.setFocus(true);
  passwordTXB = controlP5.addTextfield("Password",100,200,200,20);
  passwordTXB.setPasswordMode(true);
  

  subtituloLABEL = controlP5.addTextlabel("label","complete the following fields.",20,134);
  subtituloLABEL.setColorValue(corSubtitulo);
  
  tituloLABEL = new Textlabel(this, "Welcome to Birduino.",20,100,400,200,0xffff0000,ControlP5.synt24);
  tituloLABEL.setLetterSpacing(3);
  tituloLABEL.setColorValue(corTitulo);  
  
//########## CONFIGURA A LIGAÇÃO AO TWITTER ############### 
  twitter = new Twitter(username,password);
  println("Starting timer...");
  int time = 0;
  lasttweet = " ";
  port = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[1], 9600);
}

void draw() {
  
  //########## Desenhar o interface #################
  background(myColorBackground);
  tituloLABEL.draw(this); 
  
  
  //se as variáveis de utilizar e password não estiverem preenchidas, nao corre o timer
  if(username != null && password != null){
  //######## Timer para correr a função tweets(); ##########
    //println("tic-tac: " + time + "sec.");
    time++;
    if (time>=120)
    {
	tweets();
	time=0;
    }
  }
  else
  { 
     println("introduzir dados");
  }
}


void tweets(){

//Coloca a friend time line na var statuses
  try
  {
   statuses = twitter.getFriendsTimeline(); 
  }
  catch( TwitterException e) 
  { 
   println(e.getStatusCode());
  }
  
  Status status = (Status)statuses.get(0);
  tweet = status.getText();
  println("Tweet actual: " + tweet);
  println("Tweet Anterior: " + lasttweet);
  
//Mostra o rate limit
  try
  {
    rate = twitter.rateLimitStatus().getRemainingHits();
    println("Rate limit: " + rate);
  }
  catch( TwitterException e) 
  { 
   println(e.getStatusCode());
  }
  
  if (tweet.length() != lasttweet.length())
	{
	  println("==New Tweet==\n\n");
	  port.write('H');
	}
	else
	{
	  println("==No Activity==\n\n"); 
	  port.write('L');
	}
	
	Status Lstatus = (Status)statuses.get(0);
	lasttweet = Lstatus.getText();
}
 

Im having a small problem and i know why it is happening.
According to the debug, im getting a "no username or password was sent for authentication" or something like that to the following line  statuses = twitter.getFriendsTimeline();

This works fine if i uncomment the following lines:

//String username = "USERNAME";
//String password = "PASSWORD";

and give them a valid username / password. These vars will then be global to the program and when needed they will be set and sent to the function and everything works fine.

However whats happening is, the GUI i made should put the Username and Password on those variables in the following function:

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
 username = usernameTXB.getText();
 password = passwordTXB.getText();
 //println("\n\n Username: "+ usernameTXB.getText() + "\nPassword: " + passwordTXB.getText());
}


Problem is somewhere here... teh vars username and password arent  "global" or lose theyr value when they are requested by the function that needs them...


Any idea how i could make them global? and still be set by the user on the GUI?


Thank you
