Use the following code snippet to get follower id. After getting the ids you use show user to get other details. Remember to use this code in background thread like in asynctask.

      long[] tempids = null;
      ConfigurationBuilder config =
            new ConfigurationBuilder()
                    .setOAuthConsumerKey(custkey)
                    .setOAuthConsumerSecret(custsecret)
                    .setOAuthAccessToken(accesstoken)
                    .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(accesssecret);

    twitter1 = new TwitterFactory(config.build()).getInstance();
    while(cursor != 0) {

            try {
                IDs temp    = twitter1.friendsFollowers().getFollowersIDs("username", cursor);
                cursor      = temp.getNextCursor();
                tempids = temp.getIDs();
            } catch (twitter4j.TwitterException e) {
                System.out.println("twitter: failed");
                e.printStackTrace();
                return null;
            }

            if(tempids != null) {
                for (long id : tempids) {
                    ids.add(id);
                    System.out.println("followerID: " + id);
                }
            }
        }
