xhr_request.send( );
 
function loadTwitter( ){
 
    var tweets = eval('('+this.responseText+')');
        for (var i = 0; i < tweets.length; i++)
        Ti.API.info("Length:"+tweets.length);
        {
 
    tweets = tweets[i].text;
    Ti.API.info(tweets);
    feeds.push(tweets);
}

Hi Gurkan

I am not sure best to explain what went wrong here.

You set all events for xhr before you try calling the open/send routines.
You did not enter a 'screen name' in the URL
You added images to the label tweet_text, except you did not have a variable called images
You should use JSON.parse rather than eval, it is easier and safer.
You duplicated the eval on the responseText.

I have made your code work and simplified it a bit.

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    title : 'Win 1',
    backgroundColor : '#fff'
});
 
var strScreenName = "microsoft";
 
function loadTwitter(tweets) {
    Ti.API.info("Length:" + tweets.length);
    var feeds = [], intTweet = 0, intTweets = tweets.length;
    for (intTweet = 0; intTweet < intTweets; intTweet = intTweet + 1) {
        feeds.push(tweets[intTweet].text);
    }
 
    var tweet_text = Ti.UI.createLabel({
        backgroundColor: 'orange',
        text: feeds[0],
        color: '#000',
        top:50,
        left:0,
        width:320,
        height:100
    });
 
    win.add(tweet_text);
    Ti.API.info("Length:" + tweets[0].text);
};
 
var xhr_request = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
 
xhr_request.setTimeout(5000);
xhr_request.onerror = function(e){ alert('Check Your Internet Connection'); }
xhr_request.onload = function() {
    var response = this.responseText;
    var tweets = JSON.parse(response);
    loadTwitter(tweets);
}
xhr_request.open("GET", 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=' + strScreenName + '&include_rts=true');
xhr_request.send( );
 
win.open();
