How safe is Twitter4j and future support for the Twitter API


I just started with Twitter APP Development for Android and since there is no official SDK for Android[took me quite some time to wrap my head around it as I had just moved from FB], many have suggested using Twitter4j.
What I want to know

1. Is it safe in using this framework or should I stick with the official REST API calls given by Twitter[personal choice].
2. Since it does not cover all the API calls can we mix and match the REST service calls like if I authenticate my app/user through Twitter4j is it possible to have other API calls


Solution

  • After using the jar myself for oAuth implementation i must say it's quite good. EVEN TWITTER SUPPORTS THE USAGE OF THIS here's the link, https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/twitter-libraries to support my claim. About the library: it's pretty good and easy to use. But i just used it for oAuth and tested some of the methods. I works... Here's a tutorial link of the usage
