Creating social graph via twitter4j

i would like to create social graph based on users and followers from Twitter.
I'm using twitter4j library. I'm iterating over graph starting from selected user and then i'm getting his followers, then recursively function is executed for his followers. The problem is i receive rate limit very quickly.
public void getFollowers(Twitter twitter, String twitterScreenName)
{
try
{
IDs followerIDs = twitter.getFollowersIDs(twitterScreenName, -1);
long [] followerIdList = followerIDs.getIDs();
if (followerIdList.length > 0)
{
String screenName = "";
for(long id: followerIdList)
{
twitter4j.User user = twitter.showUser(id);
screenName = user.getScreenName();
System.out.println("Name: " + screenName);
getFollowers(twitter, screenName);
}
}
}
catch(TwitterException e)
{
e.getMessage();
}
}
The result is unsatisfactory because i can't get deeper to followers of user followers and so on. I know i could wait 15 minutes and again restore program working but it would last too long and graph is very poor.
Is it another way to bypass that problem or other tools similar to twitter4j which can solve problem of creating graph? Thanks for any help.

How to post in a group on facebook using restfb?

I am trying to post a message onto a facebook group (I am the admin for the page). Here is the java code that I am using:
public void makeTestPost() {
fbClient = new DefaultFacebookClient(groupPageAccessToken);
counter = 0;
fbClient.publish(groupID + "/posts", FacebookType.class, Parameter.with("message", Integer.toString(counter) + ": Hello, fb World!"));
counter++;
}
with:
private final string groupPageAccessToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
private final String groupID = "XXXXXXX";
I got these values using the facebook graph explorer api online Graph API Explorer
But when I login to facebook I don't see any message/post on the group. Please tell me how to make it work?

You need an user access token with the permissions publish_actions and user_managed_groups.
Then you can publish a new message like this:
GraphResponse response = fbClient.publish(groupID + "/feed", GraphResponse.class, Parameter.with("message", Integer.toString(counter) + ": Hello, fb World!"));

Searching for a tweet using Twitter4j

I have a problem using Twitter4j. I need to recover a tweet using its id but when I search, the result it's always [ ]. Here is the code:
ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
.setOAuthConsumerKey("XXXXXXXXX")
.setOAuthConsumerSecret("XXXXXXXX")
.setOAuthAccessToken("XXXXXXXX")
.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("XXXXXXXXX");
TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
twitter = tf.getInstance();
Query searchTweet = new Query("id:twitter4j " + Long.parseLong("427552735219965952"));
QueryResult resultSearchTweet = twitter.search(searchTweet);
System.out.println("Value: " + resultSearchTweet);
System.out.println("Tweets: " + resultSearchTweet.getTweets());
System.out.println("Tweets size: " + resultSearchTweet.getTweets().size());
And here is the exit:
Value: QueryResultJSONImpl{sinceId=0, maxId=603858195988131841, refreshUrl='?since_id=603858195988131841&q=id%3Atwitter4j%20427552735219965952&include_entities=1', count=15, completedIn=0.028, query='id:twitter4j 427552735219965952', tweets=[]}
Tweets: []
Tweets size: 0
Two observations:
1) I need to use search function because it has more rate limit than
other functions.
2) The tweet exists.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english :).

I just found a solution. I search the tweets that a certain user using an URL of the tweet then I access to the JSON and get what I want
Thank you very much :).

How do twitter4j Paging pages work?

I'm working on writing a simple program to fetch tweets for an information retrieval class (later I will be learning to index and search through them). For now, I just want to gather data. I'm using the twitter4j API and am having trouble understanding the Paging class and how it works. Below is a snippet of code:
TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
Twitter twitter = tf.getInstance();
Paging paging = new Paging(2,40);
try{
List<Status> statuses = twitter.getUserTimeline("google", paging);
System.out.println(paging);
for(Status status : statuses)
{
System.out.println(status.getText());
}
System.out.println("\n\n\n");
paging.setPage(2);
statuses = twitter.getUserTimeline("google",paging);
for(Status status : statuses)
{
System.out.println(status.getText());
}
}
catch(TwitterException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
My hope was that the second call to twitter.getUserTimeline would return the next 40 tweets from Google as this example seems to suggest, but upon inspection, both return the same 40 tweets. Can someone then explain what the Paging class actually does?

Your first call should request the first page Paging paging = new Paging(1, 40);, not the second one.

Twitter List twitter4j

Hello i want to display a user timeline in a list with twitter4j, because im new to java i just don't know how to do that. I searched the web but couldn't find anything usefull. So my question is: does someone know how to display a user timeline in a list in android?

twitter4j-core-2.2.6
Twitter tw = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
// some userlist
UserList userList = tw.getUserLists("screen name", -1).get(0);
System.out.println(userList.getName());
int listId = userList.getId();
ResponseList<Status> userListStatuses = tw.getUserListStatuses(listId, new Paging(1));
for (Status status : userListStatuses) {
System.out.println(status.getText());
}

As per the twitter4j Code Examples
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
List<Status> statuses = twitter.getFriendsTimeline();
System.out.println("Showing friends timeline.");
for (Status status : statuses) {
System.out.println(status.getUser().getName() + ":" +
status.getText());
}
Please check official document and code example for twitter4j
