How can I follow a twitter user using Twitter4j framework?

I need my Java Twitter application to be able to follow a user in twitter. When I pass it the user ID as a string, the application follow it automatically. I couldn't find the method that can do that in Twitter4j.

The following configuration will do it: 

ConfigurationBuilder cb =new ConfigurationBuilder();
        cb.setDebugEnabled(true)
          .setOAuthConsumerKey("******")
          .setOAuthConsumerSecret("******")
          .setOAuthAccessToken("*******")
          .setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("********");

        //In case of proxy 
        //cb.setHttpProxyHost("******").setHttpProxyPort(8080);


        TwitterFactory twitterFactory=new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
        Twitter twitter=twitterFactory.getInstance();

         twitter.createFriendship("twitter id");
