Getting Tweets From Particular User From The Last Fetch Using MaxId

We are using twitter4j userTimeLine for getting tweets from particular user. How do I use maxId and How do I fetch tweets from the last fetch of tweets???

My source code as follows,

public List<Status> userTimeLine(String keyWord, int page, int count) {

        log.info("Showing user timeline.");

        List<Status> statuses = new ArrayList<Status>(0);
        Paging paging = new Paging(page, count);
        try {
            statuses = twitter.getUserTimeline(keyWord, paging);
        } catch (TwitterException e) {
            log.error("Unable to find user timeline", e);
        }

        return statuses;
    }

This code returns 100 tweets for the first fetch. In the second fetch, it retrieves 102 [100(last fetched tweets)+2 (new tweets)] if there new tweets posted by the user. Otherwise it returns the same 100 tweets for each and every fetch.

How do I solve getting tweets from the last fetch of tweets?

You can specify tweets (by status id) using Paging to get the tweets that were posted in between using the sinceId and maxId methods.

 since_id: returns elements which id are bigger than the specified id
 max_id: returns elements which id are smaller than the specified id

For example:

 Paging paging = new Paging(1, 10).sinceId(258347905419730944L).maxId(258348815243960320L);
 List<Status> statuses = twitter.getHomeTimeline(paging);

You can find lots of things here : , and also you can use sthg like that;

 Query query = new Query("from:somebody").since("2011-01-02");
 Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
 QueryResult result = twitter.search(query);
