Transfer tokens

Transfer tokens from some accounts to other accounts. The transaction must be signed by the sending account. Each negative amount is withdrawn from the corresponding account (a sender), and each positive one is added to the corresponding account (a receiver). All amounts must have sum of zero. Each amount is a number with the lowest denomination possible for a token. Example: Token X has 2 decimals. Account A transfers amountof 100 tokens by providing 10000 as amount in the TransferList. If Account A wants to send 100.55 tokens, he must provide 10055 as amount. If any sender account fails to have sufficient token balance, then the entire transaction fails and none of the transfers occur, though transaction fee is still charged.
The account must be associated to the token prior to transfering tokens to that account. See TokenAssociateTransaction.

addHbarTransfer(<accountId, value>)
AccountID, Hbar/long
Add the from and to account to transfer hbars (you will need to call this method twice). The sending account must sign the transaction. The sender and recipient values must net zero.
addTokenTransfer(<tokenId, accountId,value>)
TokenId, AccountId, long
Add the from and to account to transfer tokens (you will need to call this method twice).The ID of the token, the account ID to transfer the tokens from or to, and the value of the token to transfer. The sender and recipient values must net zero.
