Question

Suppose I have a Date 20 June 2013

How can I get the Date range for the last week, ie in this case 9 June to 15 June.

Also if the date was 2nd June 2013

Answer 1

You can use JodaTime for a cleaner solution. With JodaTime you can do as below:

final DateTime input = new DateTime();
System.out.println(input);
final DateMidnight startOfLastWeek = 
           new DateMidnight(input.minusWeeks(1).withDayOfWeek(DateTimeConstants.MONDAY));
System.out.println(startOfLastWeek);
final DateMidnight endOfLastWeek = startOfLastWeek.plusDays(6);
System.out.println(endOfLastWeek);
