Or,

SimpleDateFormat fmt = (SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getDateInstance();
fmt.applyPattern("EEEE");  // "E" means day of week; see JDK docs
String dayOfWeek = fmt.format(new Date());

Though I suppose it's not strictly *guaranteed* that you can cast to
SimpleDateFormat, the JDK docs say it usually works....
