Write a method which takes fromdate and todate as arguements and by the help of Calendar class you can count the days without including saturday and sunday..

Find the number of days between the dates ,
Find the number of saturdays and sundays in between
The difference will give you the exact number of days..

Refer the following code which will help you in writing the method..

import java.util.*;

public class FirstDayOfWeek{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    GregorianCalendar gcal = new GregorianCalendar();
    int week = gcal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    System.out.println("Day of week: " + week);
    int first = gcal.getFirstDayOfWeek() ;
    switch(first){
      case 1:
        System.out.println("Sunday");
      break;
      case 2:
        System.out.println("Monday");
      case 3:
        System.out.println("Tuesday");
      case 4:
        System.out.println("Wednesday");
      case 5:
        System.out.println("Thrusday");
      case 6:
        System.out.println("Friday");
      case 7:
        System.out.println("Saturday");
    }
  }
}

Find the number of days between the dates ,
Find the number of saturdays and sundays in between
The difference will give you the exact number of days..

Refer the following code which will help you in writing the method..

import java.util.*;

public class FirstDayOfWeek{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    GregorianCalendar gcal = new GregorianCalendar();
    int week = gcal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    System.out.println("Day of week: " + week);
    int first = gcal.getFirstDayOfWeek() ;
    switch(first){
      case 1:
        System.out.println("Sunday");
      break;
      case 2:
        System.out.println("Monday");
      case 3:
        System.out.println("Tuesday");
      case 4:
        System.out.println("Wednesday");
      case 5:
        System.out.println("Thrusday");
      case 6:
        System.out.println("Friday");
      case 7:
        System.out.println("Saturday");
    }
  }
}

And what happens if those constant values change? You should be using Calendar.SUNDAY, not "1". And why do the rest not break?
