Formatting day of week using SimpleDateFormat in Java
E format is used in Java Date to format day of week like Mon, Tue, Wed, etc. Let us use it.
// displaying day of week SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E"); String strDayofWeek = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Day of Week = "+strDayofWeek);
Above, we have used the SimpleDateFormat class, therefore the following package is imported −
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
The following is an example −
Example
import java.text.Format; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Calendar; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // displaying current date and time Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"); System.out.println("Today's date and time = "+simpleformat.format(cal.getTime())); // displaying date simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMMM/yyyy"); String str = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Current Date = "+str); // displaying day of week simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E"); String strDayofWeek = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Day of Week = "+strDayofWeek); // current time simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH.mm.ss Z"); String strTime = simpleformat.format(new Date()); System.out.println("Current Time = "+strTime); } }
Output
Today's date and time = Mon, 26 Nov 2018 09:37:56 +0000 Current Date = 26/November/2018 Day of Week = Mon Current Time = 09.37.56 +0000
