Accessing tweets from Twitter API
Just a few hints that might better the code:


If you tend to access a structure for a given element multiple times with an operation on it, extract it in a local variable:

tweet.getUser().getScreenName() // If its String, toString not required.

Have try..catch for statements that can cause the exception i.e put this out

System.out.println(tweet.getUser().getScreenName() );

As your comment states, put the boolean out with the two states and have minimal print statements. If its for debugging, add comments or debug flag.
Having try..catch after break? Please check.
Check if tweets is null after

List&lt;Status&gt; tweets = result.getTweets();

Check if tweet is null inside the for loop.
Apply (5) and (6) for Stats as well.
