Try the following code and your program should compile fine! If you have any questions about this solution then feel free to ask them.
if(mHand.equals("tile")) {
// Code to be run
}

597 Pointsthanks but this too didn't work. I think its hinting me indexOf method. Any ideas?

13,564 PointsAre you sure that doesn't work? It looks like it should to me as mHand is a String not an array.
