This will work. We first get the day count, and then subtract that with the current day and add 1 ( for sunday)

APIzation

Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, -(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)-1)); 
System.out.println(cal.get(Calendar.DATE));

package com.stackoverflow.api;

import java.util.Calendar;

public class Human12783806 {

  public static int getLastSunday() {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, -(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) - 1));
    return cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
  }
}
