Android UI delay does not work with Long.MAX_VALUE

[elizarov]

Doing delay(Long.MAX_VALUE) on Android ends up invoking Handler.postDelayed which invokes the following code:

    public final boolean sendMessageDelayed(Message msg, long delayMillis) {
        if (delayMillis < 0) delayMillis = 0;
        return sendMessageAtTime(msg, SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + delayMillis);
    }

Note, how addition operation here overflows on Long.MAX_VALUE delay.

Can you file on b.android.com/new? But why would you ever do this?

Filed. I don't know why. It is just an edge case that better be working as expected (it shall effectively wait forever).
