public class RelativeWeekday {                
    private final Calendar mCalendar;                

    public RelativeWeekday(Calendar calendar) {                
        mCalendar = calendar;                
    }                

    @Override                
    public String toString() {                
        Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
        int dayOfYear = mCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
        if (Math.abs(dayOfYear - today.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR)) < 2) {
            return getRelativeDay(today);
        }              

        return getWeekDay();                
    }                

    private String getRelativeDay(Calendar today) {                
        return DateUtils.getRelativeTimeSpanString(                
                mCalendar.getTimeInMillis(),                
                today.getTimeInMillis(),                
                DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS,                
                DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_WEEKDAY).toString();                
    }                

    private String getWeekDay() {                
        SimpleDateFormat dayFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE");                
        return dayFormat.format(mCalendar.getTimeInMillis());                
    }                
}
