How to remove retweet using twitter4j

Question

Twitter4j 2.x had a method called getRetweetedByMe which could be used to delete a retweet. However, I am using twitter4j 3.0 and that method has been removed. I tried another solution but I am getting a error saying I can't removes someone else status. How can I accomplish removing retweets with this version of twitter4j.

My Approach:

        List<Status> retweets = twitter.getRetweets(statusId);
        for (Status retweet : retweets)
            if (retweet.getRetweetedStatus().getId() == statusId)
                twitter.destroyStatus(retweet.getRetweetedStatus().getId());

Answer 1

I found out easier way (and probably a way which creators of the API wanted us to use). Part of my "unretweet" method:

long myRetweetId = status.getId(); if (status.getUser().getId() != getCurrentUser().getId()) { // not my retweet, but the original tweet myRetweetId = status.getCurrentUserRetweetId(); // <- } twitter.destroyStatus(myRetweetId);
