Hello all, I am new to Kotlin and Android app development, but have been learning as I go. I am hoping someone may be able to assist with an issue I am experiencing. Through Android Studio, I am attempting to code an app without an activity, that runs a foreground service to consistently log (every 5s) to Logcat as a proof of concept.

I am currently in the process of learning to become a programmer and looking for work as well as i currently have zero working experience. My programming logic is really bad at the moment and i have been trying to build it. Java has been my main language for a while and its through java i learned the fundamentals of programming.
