java get week of year for given a date

how can I get a week of the year given a date? I tried the following code:

  Calendar sDateCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
  sDateCalendar.set(Integer.parseInt(sDateYearAAAA), Integer.parseInt(sDateMonthMM)-1, Integer.parseInt(sDateDayDD));
  System.out.format("sDateCalendar %%tcn", sDateCalendar);        
  iStartWeek = sDateCalendar.getWeekYear();
  System.out.println("iStartWeek "+iStartWeek+ " "+sDateCalendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR);

and i obtain: sDateCalendar lun apr 23 11:58:39 CEST 2012 iStartWeek 2012 3

while the correct week of year is 17. Can someone help me ?

Answer

You are using sDateCalendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, which is the static integer WEEK_OF_YEAR, see the source of the java.util.Calendar class:

public final static int WEEK_OF_YEAR = 3;

To get the week number, you should be using:

sDateCalendar.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR);
