I need the correct syntax of a java function that returns the name of the day of the given date.


Can anybody help me?

Google is my friend too... Still, I need a working example; I'm fed up with the trial & error method. I don't have enough time for that.

I need something like this:

Calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)

What the .. is the correct syntax?

Thanks in advance,

Erwin

String day_name = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "EEEEEEEEE" ).format( day );

I'll check out the code right away!

Erwin

By the way, what did you mean with "Bloody hell this thing was annoying"; the time it took to find the code?

Ya. SimpleDateFormat extends a class with a parse method that takes a long as a parameter instead of a Date. It took me awhile to track down why I was getting "java.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse( java.util.Date ) not found. long expected" or whatever the error was

It looked like such a simple thing at first...

I understand what you mean; these are the minor irritations during software development. Happily, there are even more goodies to compensate this feeling.. ;-)
