This code will work using system first day of week, that might be different from Sunday.

    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, cal.getFirstDayOfWeek());
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE dd.MM.yyyy");

    for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
        Log.i("dateTag", sdf.format(cal.getTime()));
        cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 1);
    }
