Re: Introduction to the community & getting started

Hello Vishnu,

Welcome to the community :)

as you are an android developer. I suggest you help the Catrobat community by converting the Catrobat project from java to Kotlin. 

our Catrobat community is shifted towards kotlin as it is more effective.

Check links to understand our community. 

https://github.com/Catrobat/Catroid/wiki/Creating-a-pull-request

checkout the below link to get started with Catrobat(you get all your answer here)

https://github.com/Catrobat/Catroid/blob/develop/README.md

 Here the steps to start contributing as a first time committer:

The first step is that you find out how to compile AND successfully run all tests and lint checks on your local machine. Much of the following only works with debug versions of Catroid, not the released versions, so you must be able to create a debug apk. 

We use the writing of Catrobat Language Tests (CLT) as TRAINING tickets, and that works a bit differently as follows:

Select any brick or reporter (aka function, operator, or sensor etc) in Catroid that has no CLT yet. Here an example that was already merged: 

• https://jira.catrob.at/browse/CATROID-801

To see which tests already exist, see https://github.com/Catrobat/Catroid/tree/develop/catroid/src/androidTest/assets/catrobatTests --- chose something else. Anything is OK. There is a huge choice. Do not ask me. Select yourself. 

When you see that a brick or reporter has no CLT yet, and if you want to write a test for it, please first create the CLT and add it to your forked repo. Then, once it successfully runs in the test suite on your local machine, create a new "bug" (in red) ticket for it, similar to (or better than) https://jira.catrob.at/browse/CATROID-801 (this was incorrectly created as a green story ticket --- please instead create a red bug ticket), and create a pull request for it according to the guidelines on our git repo. Make sure to rebase, and also to squash your PR to a single commit.

for any type of help and query feel free to contact us anytime.

Regards

Aman Gupta

Hello Aman, Thank you for your reply and a warm welcome

First of all, I'm afraid to say that I use Java for Android Development and I'm not proficient in Kotlin :(

And, I'll look at the things you specified

Thanks :)
