        date=now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        if(day==1)strday="Sunday";
        if(day==2)strday="Monday";
        if(day==3)strday="Tuesday";
        if(day==4)strday="Wednesday";
        if(day==5)strday="Thursday";
        if(day==6)strday="Friday";
        if(day==7)strday="Saturday";

You could use an array here.

String[] daysOfWeek = new String() {"Sunday", "Monday", "etc."};

strday = daysOfWeek[day];

or you could use the date formatting classes, as someone else has suggested.
