Twitter streaming api - Restricting the number of tweets - twitter

Question

I am able to get the live twitter stream using the twitter streaming api like below
ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(true);
cb.setOAuthConsumerKey("xxxx");
cb.setOAuthConsumerSecret("xxxx");
cb.setOAuthAccessToken("xxxx");
cb.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("xx");
int count = 0;
TwitterStream twitterStream = new TwitterStreamFactory(cb.build()).getInstance();
StatusListener listener = new StatusListener() {
public void onStatus(Status status) {
System.out.println("#" + status.getUser().getScreenName() + " - " + status.getText());
// count++;
}
public void onDeletionNotice(StatusDeletionNotice statusDeletionNotice) {
System.out.println("Got a status deletion notice id:" + statusDeletionNotice.getStatusId());
}
public void onTrackLimitationNotice(int numberOfLimitedStatuses) {
System.out.println("Got track limitation notice:" + numberOfLimitedStatuses);
}
public void onScrubGeo(long userId, long upToStatusId) {
System.out.println("Got scrub_geo event userId:" + userId + " upToStatusId:" + upToStatusId);
}
public void onException(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
#Override
public void onStallWarning(StallWarning arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
};
FilterQuery fq = new FilterQuery();
String keywords[] = {"samsung"};
String lang[] = {"en"};
fq.track(keywords);
fq.language(lang);
twitterStream.addListener(listener);
twitterStream.filter(fq);
How do I restrict the number of tweets? The above program is running indefinitely. How do I stop the program after getting the required number of tweets?

Answer 1

Limit storing your tweets in for instance LinkedBlockingQueue
private LinkedBlockingQueue<Status> tweets = new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(10000);
StatusListener listener = new StatusListener() {
#Override
public void onStatus(Status status) {
tweets.add(status);
}
You can later retrive it in foreach loop using Status message = obrada.poll(); .... Or just create counter and ask for size of your regular ArrayList --
if (tweets.size() >= 1000) twitterStream.shutdown(); twitterStream.cleanUp();
