    Date newFirstDate= new Date(myDate.getDate()); // 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000

    for(int i=0;i<=DateDifference;i++){
        Calendar c= Calendar.getInstance();
        c.setTime(newFirstDate);
        c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);

Create startDate and endDate like this

   Calendar startDate, endDate;
   startDate = Calendar.getInstance();
   endDate = Calendar.getInstance();

        startDate.clear();
        endDate.clear();

        startDate.set(2012, 8, 1);
        endDate.set(2012, 8, 30); 
        ArrayList<String> list = getList(startDate, endDate);

This method is generating an arrayList.

public ArrayList<String> getList(Calendar startDate, Calendar endDate) {
        ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        while (startDate.compareTo(endDate) <= 0) {
                    list.add(getDate(startDate));
            startDate.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
        }
        return list;

    }

Use this to format the date string

public String getDate(Calendar cld) {

        String curDate = cld.get(Calendar.YEAR) + "/" + (cld.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "/"
                + cld.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
        try {
            Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd").parse(curDate);

            curDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd").format(date);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return curDate;
    }
