Answer 1

Try this

public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(new Date());
        System.out.println("First Day : " + SampleDateLimit.firstDayOfLastWeek(calendar).getTime());
        System.out.println("Last Day : " + SampleDateLimit.lastDayOfLastWeek(calendar).getTime());
    }

    public static Calendar firstDayOfLastWeek(Calendar c)
    {
        c = (Calendar) c.clone();
        // last week
        c.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, -1);
        // first day
        c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, c.getFirstDayOfWeek());
        return c;
    }

    public static Calendar lastDayOfLastWeek(Calendar c)
    {
        c = (Calendar) c.clone();
        // first day of this week
        c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, c.getFirstDayOfWeek());
        // last day of previous week
        c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
        return c;
    }
