Though i can read the screen name by (getScreenName() function) and set read,write permission to my twitter application , it gives the above logcat.And i am using twitter4j jar file.

Answer 1

• Login in your app: http://dev.twitter.com/apps
• In the Settings tab, change the Application type to Read, Write and Access direct messages
• In the Reset keys tab, press the Reset button, update the consumer key and secret in your application accordingly.

It looks like that resetting the keys force the change to your application type to take effect.
