Calendar (WEEK_OF_MONTH) ????

[Alexandre Martins]

Hi folks,
i have a strange doubt about the classes of the type Calendar.
Before, i'd like to know if exists a method witch returns me the days in a week, of a month, in a year, something like getDaysOfWeekOfMonthInYear(int week, int month, int year) ?
I did not find anything about, so i decided to implement:

        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        while(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) < 14) {
            System.out.println("day of month: " + cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
            System.out.println("day of week: " + toStringDayOfWeek(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)));
            System.out.println("week of month: " + cal.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH) + "\n");
            cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + 1);
        }

The code returns me the following results:

day of month: 6
day of week: Mon
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 7
day of week: Tue
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 8
day of week: Wed
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 9
day of week: Thu
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 10
day of week: Fri
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 11
day of week: Sat
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 12
day of week: Sun
week of month: 2
 
day of month: 13
day of week: Mon
week of month: 3

The problem is, why the new week just starts on the Monday? Shouldn't it start on Sundays?
Regards...

I got the answer to my own question.
I should set the first day of the week, witch depends on Locale.
use:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.SUNDAY);
