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

Just add one to the day of the week:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, cal.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) + 1);
return cal.getTime();
