calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US) I guess. Not that it's necessarily nicer, but generally I'd say duplicating functional

  Well, this gets you the day of the week for whatever the current time is. The example in the article didn't do that exactly. It took a string of some sort (in what format, exactly, isn't clear to me) and mapped it to another string. Assuming that the input string is a formatted date of some sort, then I think this would work, using JodaTime (minus exception handling): public String getDayOfWeek(String s) { DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy"); DateTime dt = formatter.parseDateTime(s); return dt.dayOfWeek().getAsText(); }
