Answer 1

Get date from SimpleDateFormat and add this date object to calender then change into calender. And again get new Updated date from Calender. Wait i will post code

try {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date UserEnterDate = sdf.parse("String from your editbox");
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTime(UserEnterDate);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    day = day + 7;
    calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day);
    String newDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/"
                                + calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "/"
                                + calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
} catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: handle exception
