i need help please

it keeps saying "Bummer! Hmmm, remember that you can add chars to an existing String using the += method"

ScrabblePlayer.java 
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

    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
      boolean addTile = mHand.indexOf(tile) >=0;
      if(addTile){
        mHand += tile;
      }
       return false;
    }
}

for the first part it's looking for:

public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
      this.mHand += tile;
    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       return false;
    }
}
