if dateString contains the date in form month/day/year, you can split it into an array as follows:-

String[] splitDate = dateString.split("/");

The day would be the 2nd element of the splitDate Array

String day = splitDate[1];

Use: java.util.GregorianCalendar class. there is constructor with date,month,year as parameters. Then there is a method to get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
