Why do I get "value X is not a member of Y" error in this code?

Question

I am using Twitter4j for fetching trends from Twitter using the following code:

    val twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance
    val twitterStream = new TwitterStreamFactory().getInstance
    twitterStream.addListener(simpleStatusListener) 
    val trends = twitter.getTrends
    println(trends.getName)

I tried different methods for getting trends but I keep getting the following error:

value getTrends is not a member of twitter4j.Twitter

Can someone point out what is wrong?

obviously that's because `getTrends` is [not defined/not publicly visible in twitter](http://twitter4j.org/javadoc/twitter4j/Twitter.html) — om-nom-nom, Apr 06 '13 at 18:03
@princessofpersion perhaps what you need is one of [those methods](http://twitter4j.org/javadoc/twitter4j/api/TrendsResources.html)(`Twitter` implements all of them), like `getAvailableTrends`? — om-nom-nom, Apr 06 '13 at 18:18
Why do you assume twitter.getTrends() is a legal instruction? — Edmondo, Apr 06 '13 at 18:18

That method was removed from twitter4j and subsequently from the examples. Take a look at other trends-related methods that are currently supported.

The author has many other, up-to-date, examples here.

I'm pointing to examples that are more up-to-date than the one OP is using. – Alex Yarmula Apr 06 '13 at 19:07
