I want to make an app with the question: "Is it al Friday?" And than you would see "No" or "Yes" if it's Friday. So my question is: How can i check if today it's friday? I hope you understand me, otherwise just ask me.

You should use the java.util.Calendar class.

Quoting the documentation :

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
if (rightNow.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.FRIDAY){
   //do some stuff here
}

Simply this:

    private boolean isTodayFriday(){
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    return calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.FRIDAY;
}
