Question

and thanks for reading me.

I have a little problem that is that I need to Know the first/last day of a week in a month and a year, so:

public String getFirstDayOfWeekAndMonth(int year, int month, int week){
   Calendar weekCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();
   weekCalendar.clear();
   weekCalendar.set( Calendar.YEAR, year );
   weekCalendar.set( Calendar.MONTH, month-1); // zero-based
   weekCalendar.set( Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, week );

   return... ?
}

For example for the next calendar:

Month    Week     M   T   W   T   F   S   S           FirstDay    LastDay
          1               1   2   3   4   5              1           5
          2       6   7   8   9   10  11  12             6           12
  1       3       13  14  15  16  17  18  19             13          19
          4       20  21  22  23  24  25  26             20          26
          5       27  28  29  30                         27          30

          5                       1   2   3              1           3
          6       4   5   6   7   8   9   10             4           10
  2       7       11  12  13  14  15  16  17             11          17
          8       18  19  20  21  22  23  24             18          24
          9       25  26  27  28                         25          28

          9                       1   2   3              1           3
  3       10      4   5   6   7   8   9   10             4           10
                     ...

I have problems with the weeks that are in 2 months (on example 5 and 9). Could you help me please?

Thank You very much.

Answer 1

Well, I have develop a method that returns the first and the last day, wothin any other library:

private static int getFirstDayOfWeek(int year,int month,int week){
    return getFirstLastDayOfWeek(true,year,month,week);
}

private static int getLastDayOfWeek(int year,int month,int week){
    return getFirstLastDayOfWeek(false,year,month,week);
}

private static int getFirstLastDayOfWeek(boolean first, int year,int month,int week){
    int exit = 0;
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.clear();
    calendar.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, week);
    calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
    calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month-1);
    if (!first)
        calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 6);
    // 1st day of the week
    Date date = calendar.getTime();
    // The month and the day of the 1st day of the week
    int theMonth = Integer.valueOf( getInstance().getStrDate(date,"MM") );

    if (theMonth!=month)
        exit = (first?1:new GregorianCalendar(year, month-1, 1).getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    else
        exit = Integer.valueOf( getInstance().getStrDate(date,"d") );
    return exit;
}
