Release 0.4

Overview:

          OSD has been a large learning experience, really enjoyable!  I got to work on multiple interesting repo's in-which I could select myself, It couldn't get better than that. Given that Im taking PRJ666 at the same time I found the class incredibly useful in managing that project, as we needed to use github as well. OSD600 gave me the time to research skills I needed for my other project. I think is should be mandatory in semester 6  of the CPA program. 

        While my first PRs were small, Xojo hello World, bmi-calculator. They eventually grew inside as I became more comfortable working with git and Github.  My last external PRs Involve this Stenography library in-which I was granted Collaborator status! 


     This was exciting. Looking at the network graphs I can see that the repo gets pretty decent amount of visitors. This could be a great thing to have on my portfolio! 


I've got 3 Open PR for the repo, Im hoping to get the owner, other collaborator to look at it


        I think the thing with this repo is that is has a really great name, so when people google for steg android the hit this repo. Im planning to continue working on this repo, adding different algorithms, encryption + servicing tickets. Given my plans to add more to the app, I wanted to fully explore it. I created a StarUML Class Diagram and attached it in a PR for the collaborators + posted on the wiki introducing myself.


I'm mostly proud of my contribution to this issue:

https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android/issues/3


        While it wasn't a huge fix needed. Im glad I knew what do to add support for the Chinese characters + the ability to make it happen. I ran into alot of issues as I needed to ensure that I wasn't messing with their payload flags when encoding/decoding. 

  Conclusion 

     I think OSD600 was a useful course, it definitely got me interested in contributing to project , building a portfolio. Im going to use what I learned + the repos im involved with to help my recent graduated friends learn to contribute  open sourced as well. It seems like a great way to learn and show employers your work!

Introduction:  Repo  https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android Issue   https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android/issues/5 PR      https://github.com/aagarwal1012/Image-Steganography-Library-Android/pull/4     Today I found a good repo that I wanted to contribute to. Its relatively new so I think there's a good chance to get my work accepted into it quickly.  The Repo is an Image Stenography app in which encodes text into images encrypted with a password. Saving and encoding both are too much load on the UI thread and often cause the system to hang, I want to apply a fix of this nature to the save function for this app. When I first tried saving the photo I encoded the system would just hang and not function at all. The app didn't even save the photo. Work I recently had to deal with an issue regarding saving photos on android, and I noticed with this app that it never asked me permission to access my file to sa

Adding Simple Radios Ends in Bot Madness

Adding Simple Radios Ends in Bot Madness This very simple BMI calculator app has BMI calculation but no selection if you are a male or female which does change where you BMI 'roughly' a new stat could be added for those competitor types, 'percentile'  First thing I need to do is add radio buttons for selecting if man or woman! First lets go to the layout! With a constrained layout it was pretty easy to just set a radio group in. I had to ensure that it was anchored to the top  with the child item anchored to the bottom of parent. For the code, I need to add 2 blocks of code one for men other for woman that calculates what percentile the BMI is in. This will happen after the BMI is already calculated.  Just simple selecting the percentile and updating the text ! Now time to push and post a PR PR: https://github.com/characterdog/bmi-calculator/pull/14 When I did do a PR the bots blew up with stylenits alot of which w
