Check Who I am following via Twitter4j

Question

Is There anyway to check if I am following a certain user on Twitter other than getting the whole list of people who I am following and then start comparing Ids?

What I know is getting the whole list of people I am following is done through this method:

getFriendsIDs(long cursor) 
      Returns an array of numeric IDs for every user the authenticating user is following.

Answer 1

You can use the showFriendship method to see if one user is following another. Call that method, which returns a Relationship object, which has methods to see if the two users specified are following each other.
