Android Question [Solved] How to get the first Saturday in a month

[asales]

I found this code that returns how many saturdays there are between dates:
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/dateutils-simplifies-date-and-time-calcuations.26290/page-4#post-249951

I need to know how to get the first day in a month = Saturday?

Example:
I give "02/24/2015" and the function returns "02/07/2015" (the first Saturday in February/2015).

Thanks in advance for any tip.

Dim t As Long = DateTime.DateParse("02/24/2015")
Dim sat As Long = FirstDayOfMonth(7, DateTime.GetMonth(t), DateTime.GetYear(t)) '7 for saturday
Log(DateTime.Date(sat))

Sub FirstDayOfMonth(Day As Int, Month As Int, Year As Int) As Long
   Dim s As Long = DateUtils.SetDate(Year, Month, 1)
   Dim d As Int = DateTime.GetDayOfWeek(s)
   Dim p As Period
   p.Initialize
   p.Days = (Day + 7 - d) Mod 7
   Return DateUtils.AddPeriod(s, p)
End Sub

I only tested it with the values in your question. Make sure to test it more.
