How to get more than 100 tweet result using twitter4j

Question

I used the code in the first solution provided here How to retrieve more than 100 results using Twitter4j

But it just retrieves the repetition of the first 100 tweets.

I also tried to setSince and setUntil dates, but also it retrieves the repetition.

Any help please! Thanks.

If you want to get a continious stream of tweets based on some query filter,Implement StatusListener Class in Twitter4j. Also implement onStatus(Status status) function.Below is an example -

import twitter4j.*;

public class TwitterListener implements StatusListener {
    public void onException(Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
    public void onStatus(Status status) {
        if(status.getUser().getLang().equalsIgnoreCase("en")
                || status.getUser().getLang().equalsIgnoreCase("en_US")) {

            String twitterStream = String.valueOf(status.getId())
                + "\t" + status.getUser().getScreenName()
                + "\t" + status.getText()
                + "\t" + status.getCreatedAt();

            System.out.println(twitterStream);
        }
    }

    public void onDeletionNotice(StatusDeletionNotice statusDeletionNotice) {
    }
    public void onTrackLimitationNotice(int numberOfLimitedStatuses) {
    }
    public void onScrubGeo(long userId, long upToStatusId) {
    }
    public void onStallWarning(StallWarning warning) {
    }
}

Create a class to initialize and hook to Twitter Status Stream, the code would be something like below -

ConfigurationBuilder twitterConfigBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
twitterConfigBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey("consumerKey");
twitterConfigBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret("consumerSecret");
twitterConfigBuilder.setOAuthAccessToken("accessToken");
twitterConfigBuilder.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("accessTokenSecret");

TwitterListener twitterListener = new TwitterListener();

TwitterStream twitterStream
        = new TwitterStreamFactory(twitterConfigBuilder.build()).getInstance();

// Register your Listener
twitterStream.addListener(twitterListener);

FilterQuery query = new FilterQuery();
ArrayList<String> trackList = new ArrayList<String>();
// TODO, add the list of words you want to track
query.track(trackList.toArray(new String[trackList.size()]));

twitterStream.filter(query);

You should now be able to get a continious stream of tweets, you can experiment more on kind of filter you want to apply.
