Twitter number of followers iOS 6 - objective-c

Question

Hi how can I get the number of followers of the current twitter user in iOS 6. The TWRequest is depreciated so how can I use the new Social.Framework to get the number of followers?

Answer 1

First, you need to Authenticate your request (Get permission).
second, see follow these steps:
1.Download FHSTwitterEngine Twitter Library.
2.Add the folder FHSTwitterEngine" to your project and #import "FHSTwitterEngine.h".
3.add SystemConfiguration.framework to your project.
Usage : 1.in the [ViewDidLoad] add the following code:
UIButton *logIn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
logIn.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100);
[logIn setTitle:#"Login" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[logIn addTarget:self action:#selector(showLoginWindow:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:logIn];
[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]permanentlySetConsumerKey:#"<consumer_key>" andSecret:#"<consumer_secret>"];
[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]setDelegate:self];
and don't forget to import the delegate FHSTwitterEngineAccessTokenDelegate.
you need to get the permission for your request, with the following method which will present Login window:
- (void)showLoginWindow:(id)sender {
[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]showOAuthLoginControllerFromViewController:self withCompletion:^(BOOL success) {
NSLog(success?#"L0L success":#"O noes!!! Loggen faylur!!!");
}];
}
when the Login window is presented, enter your Twitter Username and Password to authenticate your request.
add the following methods to your code:
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]loadAccessToken];
NSString *username = [[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]loggedInUsername];// self.engine.loggedInUsername;
if (username.length > 0) {
lbl.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Logged in as %#",username];
[self listResults];
} else {
lbl.text = #"You are not logged in.";
}
}
- (void)storeAccessToken:(NSString *)accessToken {
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setObject:accessToken forKey:#"SavedAccessHTTPBody"];
}
- (NSString *)loadAccessToken {
return [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]objectForKey:#"SavedAccessHTTPBody"];
}
4.Now you are ready to get your request, the following method will list your followers ID's, add them to an NSArray and the get the Count from the NSArray:
- (Void)listFriends:(id)sender {
NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[_tweetField resignFirstResponder];
dispatch_async(GCDBackgroundThread, ^{
#autoreleasepool {
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
// NSLog(#"Friends' IDs: %#",[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]getFriendsIDs]);
dict = [[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]getFollowersIDs];
for (NSDictionary *item in [dict objectForKey:#"ids"]) {
[arr addObject:[dict objectForKey:#"ids"]];
}
dispatch_sync(GCDMainThread, ^{
#autoreleasepool {
UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Complete!" message:#"Your list of followers has been fetched" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[av show];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
NSLog(#"====> %d",[arr count]);
}
});
}
});
}
I tested this code and it's working perfectly ^_^.

Answer 2

use This code
(IBAction)listFriends:(id)sender {
NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
dict=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
[_tweetField resignFirstResponder];
dispatch_async(GCDBackgroundThread, ^{
#autoreleasepool {
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
//to get friends id.......
NSLog(#"Friends' IDs: %#",[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]getFriendsIDs]);
/* dict = [[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]getFollowersIDs];
for (NSDictionary *item in [dict objectForKey:#"ids"]) {
[arr addObject:[dict objectForKey:#"ids"]];
}*/
// To get friends name ...
// NSLog(#"Friends_Name: %#",[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]listFriendsForUser:_loggedInUserLabel.text isID:NO withCursor:#"-1"]);
dict = [[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]listFriendsForUser:_loggedInUserLabel.text isID:NO withCursor:#"-1"];
NSLog(#"====> %#",[dict objectForKey:#"users"] );
NSMutableArray *array=[dict objectForKey:#"users"];
for(int i=0;i<[array count];i++)
{
NSLog(#"names:%#",[[array objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:#"name"]);
}
// NSLog(#"Friends_Name: %#",[[FHSTwitterEngine sharedEngine]getMentionsTimelineWithCount:1000 sinceID:nil maxID:nil]);
dispatch_sync(GCDMainThread, ^{
#autoreleasepool {
UIAlertView *av = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Complete!" message:#"Your list of followers has been fetched" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[av show];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
// NSLog(#"====> %d",[arr count]);
}
});
}
});
}
