How to make the local date count only week date?

For example

LocalDate date = new LocalDate();
date.plusDays(10); //it returns plus days including sat and sun as 2013-03-21
//i am looking for a way
date.plusDays(10); //should return as 2013-03-26

I am look for a way to remove the weekends?

Answer 1

Use the getDayOfWeek() method. Return will be as follows. Inorder to get only week days.. you just need to check whether the return value is less than or equal to 5.

public static final int MONDAY = 1;
public static final int TUESDAY = 2;
public static final int WEDNESDAY = 3;
public static final int THURSDAY = 4;
public static final int FRIDAY = 5;
public static final int SATURDAY = 6;
public static final int SUNDAY = 7;

Answer 2

LocalDate newDate = new LocalDate();
    int i=0;
    while(i<days)//days == as many as u wanted
    {
        newDate = newDate.plusDays(1);
        System.out.println("new date"+newDate);
        if(newDate.getDayOfWeek()<=5)
        {
            i++;
        }

    }
