Thank you so much, this demo just saved the day!! Not a lot of documentation out there yet for twitter4j 3.0.3 so I am so glad I found this. Much appreciated... and I will make sure you're credited :-)

Thank you very much for the code. It worked perfectly.

My pleasure. :) I've made some edits, but just to whitespaces.
