import twitter4j.Status;
import twitter4j.Twitter;
import twitter4j.TwitterFactory;

import twitter4j.conf.ConfigurationBuilder;

/**

public class NewClass {
    public static void main(String arg[]){
    ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
    cb.setDebugEnabled(true);
    cb.setOAuthConsumerKey("sVxxxxxxxUvdV");
    cb.setOAuthConsumerSecret("nRxxxxxxxXwY7i");
    cb.setOAuthAccessToken("71xxxxxxxZDuA7");
    cb.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret("Yzxxxxxx0Y7clyc");
            
  

    try {
 
            Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(cb.build()).getInstance();
 
            twitter.verifyCredentials();
 
             Status status = twitter.updateStatus("This is my ");

        } catch (Exception e) {

              e.printStackTrace();

        }

       }
}

First of all, please do not post your OAuth tokens in a public forum post - doing so enables anyone to steal your account identity and post on your behalf via your app, so this is a really bad idea. I edited them out for you.

Secondly - the error seems to happen here:

java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out

Are you able to connect to api.twitter.com from your host? What is the network latency? That’s a fairly standard Java networking error, not directly related to using Twitter functions. I’d start checking from there.

Thanks a lot for your reply . I have checked the speed download speed is 30 Mb/s and upload is 20 Mb/s . If it is a network problem how can I resolve this ? As I am in China , I already using Psiphon VPN , do I need to edit some settings , Please guide

I also want to clarify that this line work fine Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(cb.build()).getInstance();

But exception raises when this line verifyCredentials executed
twitter.verifyCredentials();

[kashifazhar3]

I resolve this issue by adding proxy server info in my code . Thanks @andypiper for your hint
