What is the easiest way to get the current day of the week in Android?

I want to make an application with the question: "Is it Friday?" And by what you will see “No” or “Yes” if on Friday. So my question is: How can I check if it is Friday today? I hope you understand me, otherwise just ask me.

Answer 1

You should use the java.util.Calendar class.

Indication of documentation:

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance(); if (rightNow.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.FRIDAY){ //do some stuff here } 

Answer 2

see this: http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Date.html u probably want to create an instance of the calendar and set it to the current date and get the day of the week (Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) and compare with Friday (friday = 6, if I remember correctly ?, check this pls) or use the new date () ....

Answer 3

This is simple:

  private boolean isTodayFriday(){ Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); return calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.FRIDAY; }
