getting 403 while calling setBearerToken()

@heavydestroyer71
Sorry for late reply. I actively used this code on project and this is working fine.
You must create an application at dev.twitter.com and initialize the object with ConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret first.

TwitterBearerTokenExample.Twitter sampleObject = TwitterBearerTokenExample.Twitter(ConsumerKey, ConsumerSecret);

I save the bearer token to settings table, and using it for future api calls.

can you make it upgrade please, because there is no api.twitter.com

Works like charm, thanks!
