With Lamma Date it's very easy to first obtain next Sunday, then we can use equals check if the date is next Sunday. 

    Date today = new Date(2014, 7, 1);  // assume today is 2014-07-01
    Date nextSunday = today.next(DayOfWeek.SUNDAY);     // 2014-07-06

First of, I recommend Joda Time as a much better Date/Time API than Calendar.

As for your processing it breaks down into easy steps:

  1. Construct DateTime objects for the two dates
  2. Check that the target date is a Sunday
  3. Check that the difference between them is between 0 and 7 days

Break the problem down:

  1. Get today's date: new Date();
  2. Get the day of the week for today's date.
  3. Advance forward to Sunday
  4. Get that date
