Get day of the week from GregorianCalendar

Question

I have a date and I need to know the day of the week, so I used a GregorianCalendar object but I get back some dates that are incorrect.

GregorianCalendar ca         


        

Answer 1

TimeZone timezone = TimeZone.getDefault();
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(timezone);
calendar.set(year, month, day, hour, minute, second);

String monthName=calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.SHORT, Locale.getDefault());//Locale.US);
String dayName=calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SHORT, Locale.getDefault());//Locale.US);
