Following is the code that I am using to calculate the week start date

  • 0

Following is the code that I am using to calculate the week start date and end date for the given month.
Assume week start day is MONDAY and week end day is SUNDAY.
For example, JANUARY, 2013 will have 5 weeks.
If the month starts with Sunday – ignore that day

January 2013
first week – 31-Dec-2012 to 06-Jan-2013
second week – 07-jan-2013 to 13-jan-2013
Third week – 14-jan-2013 to 20-jan-2013
fourth week – 21-jan-2013 to 27-jan-2013
fifth week – 28-jan-2013 to 03-Feb-2013

public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<List<String>> weekdates = getNumberOfWeeks(2013, Calendar.JULY);
    for(List<String> weekDatesLoop:weekdates){
        System.out.println("Start day: "+weekDatesLoop.get(0).toString());
        System.out.println("End day: "+weekDatesLoop.get(1).toString());
    }
  }
public static List<List<String>> getNumberOfWeeks(int year, int month) {
        System.out.println("Month Id: "+month);
        month = month-1;
        System.out.println("Month Id: " + month);
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
        List<List<String>> weekdates = new ArrayList<List<String>>();

        List<String> dates = new ArrayList<String>();
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        c.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
        c.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
        c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
        dates.add(format.format(c.getTime()));
        //int numOfWeeksInMonth = 1;
        while (c.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month) {
          //System.out.println(c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) );

          if (c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.SUNDAY) {
            dates.add(format.format(c.getTime()));
            weekdates.add(dates);
          }
          else if (c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.MONDAY) {
            dates = new ArrayList<String>();
            dates.add(format.format(c.getTime()));
            //numOfWeeksInMonth++;
          }
          c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
        }
        if(dates.size() < 2){
          c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
          dates.add(format.format(c.getTime()));
          weekdates.add(dates);
        }
        System.out.println(weekdates);
        return weekdates;
      }

I am still working on this.
Can anyone please help me in fixing this?

    I get the answer with the following code 

    List<List<String>> getNumberOfWeeks(int year, int month) {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
        List<List<String>> weekdates = new ArrayList<List<String>>();
        List<String> dates;
        Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
        c.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
        c.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
        c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
        while (c.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month) {
                dates = new ArrayList<String>();
              while (c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) != Calendar.MONDAY) {
                c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
              }
              dates.add(format.format(c.getTime()));
              c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 6);
              dates.add(format.format(c.getTime()));
              weekdates.add(dates);
              c.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
        }
        System.out.println(weekdates);
        return weekdates;
      }
