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

...
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。

下面是两行代码片段，使用Java 1.8 Time API满足您的需求。

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(Integer.valueOf(year),Integer.valueOf(month),Integer.valueOf(day));
String dayOfWeek = String.valueOf(localDate.getDayOfWeek());

private String getDay(Date date){

    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE");
    //System.out.println("DAY "+simpleDateFormat.format(date).toUpperCase());                       
    return simpleDateFormat.format(date).toUpperCase();
}

private String getDay(String dateStr){
    //dateStr must be in DD-MM-YYYY Formate
    Date date = null;
    String day=null;

    try {
        date = new SimpleDateFormat("DD-MM-YYYY").parse(dateStr);

        SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE");
        //System.out.println("DAY "+simpleDateFormat.format(date).toUpperCase());
        day = simpleDateFormat.format(date).toUpperCase();


    } catch (ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }


    return day;
}

是的。根据具体情况:

You can use java.util.Calendar: Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); c.setTime(yourDate); int dayOfWeek = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); if you need the output to be Tue rather than 3 (Days of week are indexed starting at 1 for Sunday, see Calendar.SUNDAY), instead of going through a calendar, just reformat the string: new SimpleDateFormat("EE").format(date) (EE meaning "day of week, short version") if you have your input as string, rather than Date, you should use SimpleDateFormat to parse it: new SimpleDateFormat("dd/M/yyyy").parse(dateString) you can use joda-time's DateTime and call dateTime.dayOfWeek() and/or DateTimeFormat. edit: since Java 8 you can now use java.time package instead of joda-time
