I'm not totally sure what the object of the program you are trying to create is, maybe you can elaborate somewhat. Are you just trying to get the current day and do something or get any day ever?

Anyways, here is the documentation for the class you want to use for the calendar: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/GregorianCalendar.html

or

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/GregorianCalendar.html

Both are the same things, some is just the oracle docs and one is androids. Just a preference thing.
