Question

I have a DatePickerDialog that opens up and you select the date. I want to find out what day that is. Monday Tuesday. You get the idea. I can get the date I just don’t know how to find the day. Is there an easy was to do this? I have looked at the documentation on this and I don’t see anything that is a getDay(int year, int date, int month) method. Is there one?

If you want to create localized strings from dates use SimpleDateFormat it will generate Strings from a Date object:

SimpleDayFormat dayFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E");
Log.d("Today", "Today is " + dayFormatter.format(new Date()));
