trouble with using the .toCharArray for loop to count tiles

I can't quite figure out how to make this work any suggestions on what to try?

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 String getTileCount(char tile) {
    String count = "";
   for (char tile:mHand.toCharArray ()) {
    if (mHand.indexOf(tile) >= 0) {
     count += tile;
    }
   }
    return count;
  }
}
