  - addConnectionLifeCycleListener
```
void addConnectionLifeCycleListener(ConnectionLifeCycleListener listener)
```

    Twitter4J 2.1.7
  - addListener
```
void addListener(twitter4j.StreamListener listener)
```
    Parameters:
    listener - listener to add
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 2.1.8
  - removeListener
```
void removeListener(twitter4j.StreamListener listener)
```
    Parameters:
    listener - listener to remove
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 4.0.0
  - clearListeners
```
void clearListeners()
```
    clear status listeners
    
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 4.0.0
  - replaceListener
```
void replaceListener(twitter4j.StreamListener toBeRemoved,
                   twitter4j.StreamListener toBeAdded)
```
    replace existing listener
    
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 4.0.0
  - firehose
```
void firehose(int count)
```
    Starts listening on all public statuses. Available only to approved parties and requires a signed agreement to access. Please do not contact us about access to the firehose. If your service warrants access to it, we'll contact you.
    
    Parameters:
    count - Indicates the number of previous statuses to stream before transitioning to the live stream.
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 2.0.4

    StatusStream, Streaming API Methods statuses/firehose
  - links
```
void links(int count)
```
    Starts listening on all public statuses containing links. Available only to approved parties and requires a signed agreement to access. Please do not contact us about access to the links stream. If your service warrants access to it, we'll contact you.
    
    Parameters:
    count - Indicates the number of previous statuses to stream before transitioning to the live stream.

  - retweet
```
void retweet()
```
    Starts listening on all retweets. The retweet stream is not a generally available resource. Few applications require this level of access. Creative use of a combination of other resources and various access levels can satisfy nearly every application use case. As of 9/11/2009, the site-wide retweet feature has not yet launched, so there are currently few, if any, retweets on this stream.
    
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 2.0.10

    StatusStream, Streaming API Methods statuses/retweet
  - sample
```
void sample()
```
    Starts listening on random sample of all public statuses. The default access level provides a small proportion of the Firehose. The "Gardenhose" access level provides a proportion more suitable for data mining and research applications that desire a larger proportion to be statistically significant sample.
    
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 2.0.10

  - user
```
void user()
```
    User Streams provides real-time updates of all data needed to update a desktop application display. Applications can request startup back-fill from the REST API and then transition to Streaming for nearly all subsequent reads. Rate limits and latency are practically eliminated. Desktop developers can stop managing rate limits and use this new data to create an entirely new user experience. On our end, we hope to reduce costs and increase site reliability.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - when non-UserStreamListener is set, or no listener is set

```
StreamController site(boolean withFollowings,
                    long[] follow)
```
    Site Streams, a new feature on the Streaming API, is now available for beta testing. Site Streams allows services, such as web sites or mobile push services, to receive real-time updates for a large number of users without any of the hassles of managing REST API rate limits. The initial version delivers events created by, or directed to, users that have shared their OAuth token with your application. The following events are streamed immediately, and without rate limits: Home Timelines, Mentions Timelines, User Timelines, Direct Messages, Mentions, Follows, Favorites, Tweets, Retweets, Profile changes, and List changes. The following limitations must be respected during the beta period. These limitations may be changed with little advance notice. We intend to increase or remove these various limitations as we move from beta test into full production:
    Limit the follow count to 100 users per stream. Clients must occasionally compact users onto a smaller number of connections to minimize the total number of connections outstanding.
    Open no more than 25 new connections per second and exponentially back-off on errors.
    
    Parameters:
    withFollowings - whether to receive status updates from people following
    follow - an array of users to include in the stream
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 2.1.8

  - filter
```
void filter(FilterQuery query)
```
    Start consuming public statuses that match one or more filter predicates. At least one predicate parameter, follow, locations, or track must be specified. Multiple parameters may be specified which allows most clients to use a single connection to the Streaming API. Placing long parameters in the URL may cause the request to be rejected for excessive URL length.
    The default access level allows up to 200 track keywords, 400 follow userids and 10 1-degree location boxes. Increased access levels allow 80,000 follow userids ("shadow" role), 400,000 follow userids ("birddog" role), 10,000 track keywords ("restricted track" role), 200,000 track keywords ("partner track" role), and 200 10-degree location boxes ("locRestricted" role). Increased track access levels also pass a higher proportion of statuses before limiting the stream.
    
    Parameters:
    query - Filter query

  - cleanUp
```
void cleanUp()
```
    shutdown internal stream consuming thread
    
    Since:
    
    Twitter4J 2.1.7
  - shutdown
```
void shutdown()
```
    Shuts down internal dispatcher thread shared by all TwitterStream instances.
