Answer 1

You can try:

String input_date="01/08/2012";
SimpleDateFormat format1=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dt1=format1.parse(input_date);
DateFormat format2=new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE"); 
String finalDay=format2.format(dt1);

Also try this:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(yourDate);
int dayOfWeek = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
