You can use the following method to get first date and end date of a week

 void getStartEndOFWeek(int enterWeek, int enterYear){
//enterWeek is week number
//enterYear is year
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.clear();
        calendar.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, enterWeek);
        calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, enterYear);

        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMM yyyy"); // PST`
        Date startDate = calendar.getTime();
        String startDateInStr = formatter.format(startDate);
        System.out.println("...date..."+startDateInStr);

        calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 6);
        Date enddate = calendar.getTime();
        String endDaString = formatter.format(enddate);
        System.out.println("...date..."+endDaString);
    }

You need to use the java.util.Calendar class. You can set the year with Calendar.YEAR and the week of year with Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR using the public void set(int field, int value) method.

As long as the locale is set properly, you can even use setFirstDayOfWeek to change the first day of the week. The date represented by your calendar instance will be your start date. Simply add 6 days for your end date.

Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
// Clear the calendar since the default is the current time
calendar.clear(); 
// Directly set year and week of year
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2011);
calendar.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 51);
// Start date for the week
Date startDate = calendar.getTime();
// Add 6 days to reach the last day of the current week
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 6);
// End date for the week
Date endDate = calendar.getTime();
