Solution

  • For the numbers of favorites you could check every favorite of user B and check if is from user A. I suppose that you already have the followers, so 

    for (User B : followers){
ResponseList<Status> favorites = t.getFavorites(B.getId()); // t is your Twitter Instance
for(Status f : favorites)
if(A.getId() == B.getUser().getId()) countF++;
}

    For the number of retweets, you could do the same. I suppose that you already have the tweets by a follower (you could get up to 3200 with the API)

    for(Status sB : StatusesB)
if (sB.isRetweet()){ 
if(A.getId() == sB.getRetweetedStatus().getUser().getId()) countRT++;
}
