title: Handler and postDelayed doesn't work if milliseconds number is too high
body: <p>I am trying to execute a service in the background. This service is started on boot and its function is to execute something every 8 hours. In this case it sends a file by mail using JavaMail API and gmail account. This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private Handler mHandler;
  private Runnable updateRunnable = new Runnable() {
      @Override public void run() {
          new MailSenderActivity.MailSender().execute();
  
  
          queueRunnable();
      }
  };
  
  private void queueRunnable() {
  
  
      mHandler.postDelayed(updateRunnable, 28800000); 
  }
  
  @Override
  public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
      return null;
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
  
      mHandler = new Handler();
      queueRunnable();       
  }
  
  @Override
  public void onDestroy() {
      //code to execute when the service is shutting down
  }
  @Override
  public void onStart (Intent intent, int startid) {
      //code to execute when the service is starting up
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If <code>xxxx</code> in <code>mHandler,postDelayed(updateRunnable, xxxx)</code> is 600000 (10 minutes in milliseconds), it runs perfectly, but it doesn't if it is 28800000 (8 hours in milliseconds)</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
