Trying to get date of Monday in current week

Question

I have implemented a method to get the date of the Monday in the current week, and I have assigned Monday to be the first day of the week.

But, no matter what I do,

Answer 1

try this :

public static Date getFirstDayOfWeekDate() {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,
            cal.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK));
    Date now = new Date();
    cal.setTime(now);
    int week = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    return new Date(now.getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * (week - 1));
}
