globalization.getFirstDayOfWeek

Returns the first day of the week according to the client's user preferences and calendar.

navigator.globalization.getFirstDayOfWeek(successCB, errorCB);

Description

The days of the week are numbered starting from 1 where 1 is considered to be Sunday. It returns the day to the successCB callback with a properties object as a parameter. That object should have a value property with a Number value.

If there is an error obtaining the pattern, then the errorCB callback is invoked with a GlobalizationError object as a parameter. The expected code for this error is GlobalizationError.UNKNOWN_ERROR.

Supported Platforms

Android
BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)

  function (day) {alert('day: ' + day.value + '\n');},
  function () {alert('Error getting day\n');}
);
