Answer 1

Try LocalDate.withDayOfWeek:

LocalDate now = new LocalDate();
System.out.println(now.withDayOfWeek(DateTimeConstants.MONDAY)); //prints 2011-01-17
System.out.println(now.withDayOfWeek(DateTimeConstants.SUNDAY)); //prints 2011-01-23

Answer 2

LocalDate today = new LocalDate();
LocalDate weekStart = today.dayOfWeek().withMinimumValue();
LocalDate weekEnd = today.dayOfWeek().withMaximumValue();

Will give you the first and last days i.e Monday and sunday
