Cannot refer to a non-final variable inside an inner class defined in a different method

use a final local variable instead as below:

    public static final boolean postDelayed(Context context, Alarm alarm, long delayMillis) {
        final Context sContext = context;
        final Alarm sAlarm = alarm;
        return sHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override public void run() {
                Intent playAlarm = new Intent(Alarms.ALARM_ALERT_ACTION);
                playAlarm.putExtra(Alarms.ALARM_INTENT_EXTRA, sAlarm);
                sContext.startService(playAlarm);
              }
        }, delayMillis);
    }
