Starting alarm after specified days

Hello Below is my code to Start the alarm in my application.

public static void startReferAlarm(Context context,String[] message,String activityToOpen) 
{
    try {

        Log.d("Refer friend Activity", "Alarm On");
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8);
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, AlarmReciever.class);
        myIntent.putExtra("message",message);
        myIntent.putExtra("äctivityName",activityToOpen);

        final int _id = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
        PendingIntent appIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, _id, myIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        //48*60*60*1000

        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

        alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
                48*60*60*1000, appIntent);

    }catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d("MyActivity", "Alarm Off");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

From my understating above code will start the alarm and will notify on 8 am. and then will repeat after 48 hours.

But I want to start the alarm after 48 hours or lets say after 7 hours and then it repeat after every 48 hours.

Please help me with the logic.Thanks in advance.

For any one who is still confuse. Below method will initiate the alarm after 7 days of any particular action it will notify on 9 am and will repeat after 48 hours.

 public static void startCreateProfileAlarm(Context context,AlarmManager alarmManager ,String[] message,String activityToOpen) {

    try {

        //working code
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.add(DAY_OF_MONTH,7);
        //calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,1);
        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);

        // we can set any time here
        //calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 10);

        Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, AlarmReciever.class);
        myIntent.putExtra("message",message);
        myIntent.putExtra("äctivityName",activityToOpen);


        final int _id = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();

         createProfileAppIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, myIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


        //48*60*60*1000
        //2*60*1000
        alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
                48*60*60*1000, createProfileAppIntent);


    }catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d("MyActivity", "Alarm Off");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Do not use calender.set(Calendar.HOUR, 8) as it will set hours to 8'o clock

Try

//if you want to add 7 hours
calender.add(Calender.HOUR, 7); //this will add 7 hours to current time

//if you want to add 7 days
calender.add(Calender.DAY_OF_MONTH, 7); //this will add 7 days to current time

// interval to repeat alarm after 48hours
int interval = 48 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

Replace Calendar.HOUR with Calendar.HOUR_OF_THE_DAY if you want to use it in 24hours format.
