Is there a date format to display the day of the week in java?

by

This should display ‘Tue’:

new SimpleDateFormat("EEE").format(new Date());

This should display ‘Tuesday’:

new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE").format(new Date());

This should display ‘T’:

new SimpleDateFormat("EEEEE").format(new Date());

So your specific example would be:

new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-EEE").format(new Date());
