对于Java 8或更高版本，Localdate更可取

import java.time.LocalDate;

public static String findDay(int month, int day, int year) {

    LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(year, month, day);

    java.time.DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = localDate.getDayOfWeek();
    System.out.println(dayOfWeek);

    return dayOfWeek.toString();
}

注意:如果输入是字符串/用户定义的，那么你应该把它解析成int。

...
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());

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。

通过使用java.util.scanner包给用户输入日期、月和年来查找星期几的程序:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Calender {
    public static String getDay(String day, String month, String year) {

        int ym, yp, d, ay, a = 0;
        int by = 20;
        int[] y = new int[]{6, 4, 2, 0};
        int[] m = new int []{0, 3, 3, 6, 1, 4, 6, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5};

        String[] wd = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};

        int gd = Integer.parseInt(day);
        int gm = Integer.parseInt(month);
        int gy = Integer.parseInt(year);

        ym = gy % 100;
        yp = ym / 4;
        ay = gy / 100;

        while (ay != by) {
            by = by + 1;
            a = a + 1;

            if(a == 4) {
                a = 0;
            }
        }

        if ((ym % 4 == 0) && (gm == 2)) {
            d = (gd + m[gm - 1] + ym + yp + y[a] - 1) % 7;
        } else
            d = (gd + m[gm - 1] + ym + yp + y[a]) % 7;

        return wd[d];
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

        String day = in.next();
        String month = in.next();
        String year = in.next();

        System.out.println(getDay(day, month, year));
    }
}

public class TryDateFormats {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {
        String month = "08";
        String day = "05";
        String year = "2015";
        String inputDateStr = String.format("%s/%s/%s", day, month, year);
        Date inputDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(inputDateStr);
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(inputDate);
        String dayOfWeek = calendar.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.US).toUpperCase();
        System.out.println(dayOfWeek);
    }
}

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
