Start of week for locale using Joda-Time

Question

How do you determine which day of the week is considered the “start” according to a given Locale using Joda-Time?

Point: Most countries use the international standard

Answer 1

So your question is, how to get the DayOfWeek from a Joda DateTime object? What about this:

DateTime dt = new DateTime().withYear(2009).plusDays(111);
dt.toGregorianCalendar().getFirstDayOfWeek();
