Have a look at this thread; that may walk you through the problem.
You don't want your charge method inside your isFullyCharged method. Separate those first. The code is all OK - it just needs tidying up a bit.
Start with public boolean isFullyCharged() - that just compares mBarsCount with MAX_ENERGY_BARS and returns true/false depending if they're equal or not.
The charge method should increment mBarsCount while mBarsCount is not equal to MAX_ENERGY_BARS.
You've got all the code there!
Have a read of the post linked above and let me know how you get on.
Steve.
