You can use the getDisplayName() in the Calendar class to get a localized (according to Locale) string for any of the Calendar fields.
For example to get the day name you can use the following:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); String day = cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, Calendar.LONG, Locale.getDefault())
If you’re looking for an algorithm to get the day of the week then try Zeller’s congruence.
