The day of the week can be easily extracted from the date given to us.
The logic behind this program is to create a calendar object and set the calendar entries as per your requirements.
After that we use getWeekdays() method and pass the integer value of days of the week to get the actual day.
The program is as follows.
| package com.wordpress.milindjagre;
import java.text.DateFormatSymbols; import java.text.ParseException; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
public class ExtractingDayFromDate {
public static final void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
Calendar cal = GregorianCalendar.getInstance(); cal.set(2014, Calendar.JANUARY, 01);
String dayName = new DateFormatSymbols().getWeekdays()[cal .get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)]; System.out.println(“date : ” + cal.getTime()); System.out.println(“day : ” + dayName);
} } |
OUTPUT
Try is our guys and let me know if something is wrong or if we can improve this logic.
Hope you had a great read. Thank you.
