Hi All,
I'm looking at the CALENDAR Class and trying to figure out how to get the day of the week that a certain date falls on, but I don't see the method that handles this. I've looked at the DATE Class which uses the getDay method which receives the year, month, and day). However, we have been instructed to use the CALENDAR Class.
Do any of you know which method in the Calendar Class returns only the number value for the day of the week?
Thanks!!!!!

This code should work.
| Code: |
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
int dayofweek= rightNow.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK );

I thought about that, but what if I wanted to supply a specific date (year, month, & day) in time and get back the day of the week instead of the current date, which is what I believe the code you specified does?
Thanks,

Have you tried set method of Calendar class ? |
So if I issue the following;
set (int year, int month, int date)
and then run the code you supplied, that woudl do the trick?
Also, if I didn't want any time values (just looking for the day of the week for whatever date I specify) would I issue the clear method before the set and get?
Thanks,
Bill |

You can set everything
set(int year, int month, int date, int hour, int minute, int second)
You can use clear.
Pleas read this http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html
