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

The following works for me irrespective of which month and year.

 Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getDefault());
 Date date = cal.getTime();
 int days = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - Calendar.SUNDAY;
 date.setTime(date.getTime() - (long) (days*1000*60*60*24));
 cal.setTime(date);
