Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(desired date);
cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
int dayOfWeek = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);

通过提供当前时间戳获取日值。

可以使用以下代码片段进行输入，如(day = "08"， month = "05"， year = "2015"，输出将是"WEDNESDAY")

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, Integer.parseInt(day));
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, (Integer.parseInt(month)-1));
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, Integer.parseInt(year));
String dayOfWeek = calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US).toUpperCase();

import java.time.LocalDate;
...
//String month = in.next();
int mm = in.nextInt();
//String day = in.next();
int dd = in.nextInt();
//String year = in.next();
int yy = in.nextInt();
in.close();
LocalDate dt = LocalDate.of(yy, mm, dd);
System.out.print(dt.getDayOfWeek());

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Scanner;

class DayFromDate {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        System.out.println("Enter the date(dd/mm/yyyy):");
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String Date = scan.nextLine();

        try {
            boolean dateValid = dateValidate(Date);

            if(dateValid == true) {
                SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd/MM/yy" );  
                java.util.Date date = df.parse( Date );   
                df.applyPattern( "EEE" );  
                String day= df.format( date ); 

                if(day.compareTo("Sat") == 0 || day.compareTo("Sun") == 0) {
                    System.out.println(day + ": Weekend");
                } else {

        System.out.print(day + "\n" + month + "\n" + year + "\n");
        boolean leapYear = false;

        if((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0)) {
            leapYear = true;
        }

        if(year > 2099 || year < 1900)
            return false;

        if(month < 13) {
            if(month == 1 || month == 3 || month == 5 || month == 7 || month == 8 || month == 10 || month == 12) {
                if(day > 31)
                    return false;
            } else if(month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11) {

日历类有内置的displayName功能:

Calendar.getInstance().getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.SHORT, Locale.getDefault()); // Thu   

Calendar.SHORT -> Thu
Calendar.LONG_FORMAT -> Thursday

Java 1.6以来可用。参见Oracle文档

我用这个

    String[] weekdays = "Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday".split(" ");

然后

weekdays[calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - 1]

获取特定的工作日
