This code works! (without exceeding rate limits). Referred twitter4j documentation and other answers on StackOverflow.

    try {
            // get friends
            long cursor = -1;
            PagableResponseList pagableFollowings;
            do {
                pagableFollowings = twitter.getFriendsList(twitter.getId(), cursor);
                for (User user : pagableFollowings) {
                    listFriends.add(user); // ArrayList
                }
            } while ((cursor = pagableFollowings.getNextCursor()) != 0);

            // get followers
            cursor = -1;
            PagableResponseList pagableFollowers;
            do {
                pagableFollowers = twitter.getFollowersList(twitter.getId(), cursor);
                for (User user : pagableFollowers) {
                    listFollowers.add(user); // ArrayList
                }
            } while ((cursor = pagableFollowers.getNextCursor()) != 0);

        } catch (TwitterException e) {
            printError(e);
        }
