How to get localized short day-in-week name (Mo/Tu/We/Th…)

Question

Can I get localized short day-in-week name (Mo/Tu/We/Th/Fr/Sa/Su for English) in Java?

Answer 1

If standard abbreviations are fine with you, just use Calendar class like this:

myCal.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SHORT, Locale.US);
