I have date time information in this format:
String reportDate="2012-04-19 12:32:24";
I want to have as output day of the week (Thursday or 4 as result anyway is good). How to achieve this?
Thanks
Use the Calendar
after parsing the string:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS");
Date d = sdf.parse(reportDate);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(d);
return cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
