Answer 1

Thanks to come from in this question.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); // ! clear would not reset the hour of day !
        cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
        cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
        cal.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND);

        // get start of this week in milliseconds
        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, cal.getFirstDayOfWeek());
        System.out.println("Start of this week:       " + cal.getTime());
        System.out.println("... in milliseconds:      " + cal.getTimeInMillis());
