How to get first day of a given week number in Java

Question

Let me explain myself. By knowing the week number and the year of a date:

Date curr = new Date();
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(curr);
i         


        

Answer 1

Try the Gregorian Calendar algorithm:

public int getFirstDay(int m, int year)
    {
        int k=1;
        int c, y, w, M=0;
        if(m>2 && m<=12) M=m-2;
        else if(m>0 && M<=2)
        {
            M=m+10;
            year-=1;
        }
        c=year/100;
        y=year%100;
        w=(int)((k+(Math.floor(2.6*M - 0.2))-2*c+y+(Math.floor(y/4))+(Math.floor(c/4)))%7);//a fantastic formula           
        if(w<0) w+=7;
        return w;//thus the day of the week is obtained!
    }
