Use the Calendar class:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setWeekDate(2020, 34, Calendar.FRIDAY);

Then you can access the Date object for this day like this:

System.out.println(c.getTime());

Which will print (for me): Fri Aug 21 15:45:22 CEST 2020.
Or you can even access the individual calendar fields like so:

System.out.println(
    "YEAR: " + c.get(Calendar.YEAR) + "\n" +
    "MONTH: " + c.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "\n" +
    "DAY: " + c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));

This will print:

YEAR: 2020
MONTH: 21
DAY: 7

Just don't make the mistake to try to achieve things like this purely with the help of Date.

Oh, look! A downvote without a comment! How nice! Does this somehow _not_ answer the question? – bkis Jan 12 '21 at 14:59

Not sure why, but I think the downvote is because you are referring to old classes, instead of showing the newer Date/Time api's – Stultuske Jan 12 '21 at 15:12
Thanks, this solved it for me! btw, that downvote isnt from me.. – kerem_ali Jan 12 '21 at 15:16

What's wrong with "old" classes if they can produce such a concise solution? – Ralf Kleberhoff Jan 12 '21 at 15:27
