I'm really confused :(

What is wrong with my lovely code, I cant figure that out, please help:

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
    mHand += tile;
  }

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

 public int getTileCount(char character) {
  int count = 0;
   for(char letter: mHand.toCharArray()) {
    if(mHand.indexOf(letter) >= 0) {
      count++;
    }

   }
   return count;
 }
}

Thanks for advance :)

You are not using the character variable passed into the getTileCount method. Try this:

 public int getTileCount(char character) {
    int count = 0;
    for(char letter: mHand.toCharArray()) {
      if(letter == character) {
        count++;
      }
    }
    return count;
  }
