The example code below helps you to get all weekday names as an array of String. The first method, getWeekdays() return the full name string while the second method getShortWeekdays() return the short name of the weekday.
import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;
public class WeekdayNames {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] weekdays = new DateFormatSymbols().getWeekdays();
for (int i = 0; i < weekdays.length; i++) {
String weekday = weekdays[i];
System.out.println("weekday = " + weekday);
}
String[] shortWeekdays = new DateFormatSymbols().getShortWeekdays();
for (int i = 0; i < shortWeekdays.length; i++) {
String shortWeekday = shortWeekdays[i];
System.out.println("shortWeekday = " + shortWeekday);
}
}
}
