Hai,
Sometimes Twitter Server Gives the Like that only, I Faced this problem.
u can't do only like how twitter server is doing that when u are scrolling
to the end, u blindly end send a new request with the MAX Id That u have.
if u received the tweets, u can show them in the home time line.
if u receive an empty response u can simply ignore it and remove the
progress panel(if u are showing).

I am working on an application which retrieves the user Home Timelines
and save tweets to the local repository for further reference rather
than going to the your server always.
I am facing quite typical issue with MAX_ID and count query
parameters, It is not working as expected.
My application flow looks like below.
Initially requesting for the top 100 tweets to download in the order
of top to down (like 800 to 700,600,500…0).
In order to achieve the above requirements used the following URL.
http://api.twitter.com/version/1/home_timeline.fxmlcount =100
It is pulling the top 100 tweets as expected.
From the next request onwards MAX_ID query parameter is used by the
following way for limiting the results between 700 to 600.
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.xmlcount
=100MAX_ID=8546456456
Here MAX_ID is the last processed Tweet ID (i.e 700,600,500,400
tweet ID’s) obtained in the previous XML,
Strangely I am receiving the less number of tweets instead of
“COUNT” value i.e 100 tweets ( getting 96 or 98 tweets in the 4th and
3rd requests itself although there are some more old tweets available
to download).
I made totally 8 requests for downloading all tweets but I have got
96 and 98 in the 3rd and 4th requests only.
In Twitter Dev forum some discussion was there that if received
tweet count is less than Count parameter value then their won’t be
any more tweets to download. So as of this I should stop looking for
old tweets in the 4th and 3rd requests itself but this is not true in
my case.
My problem is where should I stop requesting for the old tweets?
Do I need to continue until I receive ZERO tweets?
Please direct me to solve this issue.
PS: Noticed that this is happening if I receive new tweets while
downloading the old tweets.
