How to Get the Day Name From Date In Java

We can make use of the java.time.format.TextStyle class to get the day name from date in Java 8 and above.

Example:

package org.code2care.examples;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.TextStyle;
import java.util.Locale;

public class DayFromDateJava {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();
        String dayName = date.getDayOfWeek().getDisplayName(TextStyle.FULL, Locale.ENGLISH);
        System.out.println("The day of the date is : " + dayName);
    }
}

Some examples of options for TextStyle and Locale to choose from.
