Java - How to calculate the first and last day of each week

Question

I\'m trying to create a weekly calendar that looks like this: http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/sample_basic.html

How can I calculate every week date?

Answer 1

    Calendar startCal = Calendar.getInstance();
    startCal.setTimeInMillis(startDate);
    Calendar endCal = Calendar.getInstance();
    endCal.setTimeInMillis(endDate);
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMMM-yyyy");
    while (startCal.before(endCal)) {
        int weekNumber = startCal.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR);
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SUNDAY);
        cal.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, weekNumber);
        Date sunday = cal.getTime();
        Log.d("sunday", "" + sdf.format(sunday));
        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SATURDAY);
        cal.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, weekNumber);
        Date saturday = cal.getTime();
        Log.d("saturday", "" + sdf.format(saturday));
        weekNumber = weekNumber + 1;
        startCal.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, weekNumber);

    }

Answer 2

I recommend that you use Joda Time library. Gregorian Calendar class has weekOfWeekyear and dayOfWeek methods.

Answer 3

I guess this does what you want:

// Get calendar set to current date and time
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

// Set the calendar to monday of the current week
c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.MONDAY);

// Print dates of the current week starting on Monday
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE dd/MM/yyyy");
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    System.out.println(df.format(c.getTime()));
    c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
}

Answer 4

If you know which day it is (Friday) and the current date (June 11), you can calculate the other days in this week.

Answer 5

Java.time

Using java.time library built into Java 8:

import java.time.DayOfWeek;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.previousOrSame;
import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.nextOrSame;

LocalDate now = LocalDate.now(); # 2015-11-23
LocalDate first = now.with(previousOrSame(DayOfWeek.MONDAY)); # 2015-11-23
LocalDate last = now.with(nextOrSame(DayOfWeek.SUNDAY)); # 2015-11-29

You can iterate over DayOfWeek.values() to get all current week days

DayOfWeek.values(); # Array(MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY)
for (DayOfWeek day: DayOfWeek.values()) {
    System.out.print(first.with(nextOrSame(day)));
} # 2015-11-23, 2015-11-24, 2015-11-25, 2015-11-26, 2015-11-27, 2015-11-28, 2015-11-29
