Java 8: Get First and Last Date of the Week for Given Date

In order to get the first and the last date of the week using the Java 8+ Date & Time API, make use of the WeekFields, DayOfWeek and TemporalAdjusters classes,

First let's get a LocalDate for which we want to get the first and last dates of the week,

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(2022,1,1);

Now you must know which Locale you are working on, based on the region you are in the first and the last day of the week vary! We will take Local as the US in our example,

Locale UnitedStates = Locale.US;

Now lets make create java.time.temporal.WeekFields class object and get the first day of the Week using method: getFirstDayOfWeek()

WeekFields weekFields = WeekFields.of(UnitedStates);
DayOfWeek firstDayOfTheWeek = weekFields.getFirstDayOfWeek();

To know the last day of the week we do not have any method in WeekFields, the trick here is just to make use of the minus method on firstDayOfTheWeek to get the last day!

DayOfWeek lastDayOfTheWeek = firstDayOfTheWeek.minus(1);

Make use of the TemporalAdjusters previousOrSame method to get the first Date of the Week,

LocalDate firstDate = date.with(TemporalAdjusters.previousOrSame(firstDayOfTheWeek));

Similiary, use of the TemporalAdjusters nextOrSame method to get the last Date of the Week,

LocalDate lastDate = date.with(TemporalAdjusters.nextOrSame(lastDayOfTheWeek));
