Different For Loop

I was having difficulty in implementing the For Loop and counting. I didn't realize the similarity of the for loop is to the Java Script version.

If you want to get some help and try a different version of a for loop, check out this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26267953/java-how-to-count-a-character-in-a-string-using-loop

This is the answer to the challenge. 

public class ScrabblePlayer {
  private String mHand;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    mHand = "";
  }

  public String getHand() {
   return mHand;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
    mHand += tile;
  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
   return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
  }

  public int getTileCount(char tile){
    int count=0;
    char[] charArray = mHand.toCharArray();

    for (char eachTile: charArray){
      if (hasTile(tile)&&(tile==eachTile)){
      count++;
      }
    }
    return count;
  }

}
