What im I doing wrong here?

Please anyone can make me clearly understand this challenge

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

Your method should look like this:

public int getTileCount(char tile){
    int cnt = 0;
    for(int i = 0;i < mHand.length();i++){
      if(mHand.charAt(i) == tile)
        cnt++;
    }
    return cnt;
  }

I haven't been following with the java track so they may be having you do it a little differently.

I only have twitter and facebook but I don't much programming feed on either one; in fact, most of what I post is Christian-based.
