Twitter4j Stream to get own profile tweets

Question

I am trying to use the twitter4j api to retrieve my own tweets only (ie, every 3 sec). After using the manual "ResponseList statuses = twitter.getHomeTimeline();" , i encountered a problem which the request rate was capped.

The solution i can find is to use stream service. Right now, my stream does not do anything even i update my twitter post.

EDIT 1:

I am able to get it work with my own search criteria. But i am unable to stream once my tweet is private and it works by hashtag search criterion. Any suggestions? I would like to protect my tweets yet able to see my own twitter post stream only.

Thanks!

You need to make an UserStream and you'll get the tweets as seen by the profile you made the TwitterApp. It'll return private tweets, I just checked (:
