Instruction:

This project has two different way to access twitter recent tweets.

1:Twitter search API 1.0 (deprecated) Does not requires Authentication, anonymously gets the data from server. 2:Twitter REST api 1.1 (GET Search/tweets) Does require oAuth authentication.

JSON.org: I am using JSON.org`s JSON parser to parse the received data(JSON) into JSONArray and then process the data.

Note: Modified the JSON parser file( JSONObject.java) method getString. Problem: In the Twitter application sometimes the User-url value is null then the default implementation was throwing an exceptiong.Modified the method int he library to suit the application requirement.
