Question

I want to calculate date on last Saturday. For e.g. If I run program today, it should give me date as 11 Feb.

Would time zone make a difference on this calculation, different date on same day in different timezone?

Answer 1

Using joda-time (which I advise you to use):

DateTime now = new DateTime(DateTimeZone.forID("UTC"));
DateTime saturday = now.withDayOfWeek(6);
if (saturday.isAfter(now)) {
    saturday = saturday .minusWeeks(1);
}
System.out.println(saturday);
