How to get the last Sunday before current date?

Question

I have the following code for getting the last Sunday before the current date:

Calendar calendar=Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, cale         


        

Answer 1

This will work. We first get the day count, and then subtract that with the current day and add 1 ( for sunday)

Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, -(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)-1)); 
System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.DATE));

Edit : As pointed out by Basil Bourque in the comment, see the answer by Grzegorz Gajos for Java 8 and later.
