  • Twitter4j - reply to tweet
    Hi,

    Has anybody any ideas on how to reply to a tweet using Twitter4j?

    I want to be able for search for tweets, and when I find these tweets, I want to be able to reply to a particular tweet. 

    Say I'm searching for tweets with the work 'ProcessingForum'. I search for these tweets, and get the ScreenName by using getScreenName();. I can send tweets to anybody who has tweeted something with the string 'ProcessingForum', but I want to be able to reply to the particular tweet that has mentioned 'ProcessingFroum'.

    Any Ideas?

    Some code below that shows how I'm doing it so far

    3. String sendto = ""; ///////string to store the ScreenName

    5. void setup() {
    6.   
    7.   size(100,100);
    8.   background(0);
    9.   
    10.   connectTwitter();
    11.   getTimeline();         //gets tweets from my timeline
    12.   getSearchTweets();   //gets any tweets with the defined string ///get the screen name before I send the tweet\\\\\
    13.   sendTweet("@"+ sendto + " You just tweeted about arsejesustweeting, you pup! (attempt #5)");
    14.   
    15. }



    19. void getSearchTweets() {  //search for all tweets

    21.   String queryStr = "ProcessingForum";

    23.   try {
    24.     Query query = new Query(queryStr);    
    25.     query.count(10); // Get 10 of the 100 search results  
    26.     QueryResult result = twitter.search(query);    
    27.     ArrayList tweets = (ArrayList) result.getTweets();    

    29.     for (int i=0; i<tweets.size(); i++) {
    30.       //Tweet t = (Tweet)tweets.get(i);
    31.       //String user = t.getFromUser();
    32.       //String msg = t.getText();
    33.       Status t=(Status) tweets.get(i);
    34.       User u=(User) t.getUser();
    35.       String user=u.getName();
    36.       String scrName=u.getScreenName(); //////////gets the screen name\\\\\\\\\\\
    37.       long id=u.getId();
    38.       String msg = t.getText();
    39.       String rply = t.getInReplyToScreenName();
    40.       
    41.       Date d = t.getCreatedAt();
    42.       theSearchTweets[i] = msg.substring(queryStr.length()+1);
    43.       println("Tweet by " + scrName + " at " + d + ": " + msg);
    44.       println(theSearchTweets[i]);
    45.       println("In reply to this Screen Name" + rply);
    46.       
    47.       sendto = scrName;
    48.     }

    50.   } catch (TwitterException e) {    
    51.     println("Search tweets: " + e);  
    52.   }

    54. }
  • Displaying two different Strings of text in a curve - (noob alert)
    Hi, I'm trying to display two Strings of text along two different curves in a sketch. 

    I'm bringing tweets in from an excel sheet thats 100 rows in length, and I want the first 50 to display off/around one circle and the next fifty to display off/around a second circle. I can do the first fifty alright, but I can't get the second lot to display around the second ellipse that I've drawn.

    The code I've included is a slimmed down version of the code that I'm working with (the code I'm working with is a bit messy and long) but if I get it working on a basic level I can transfer it over. 

    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
