the method you want is:

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

For an explanation, see Jennifer Nordell's answer at https://teamtreehouse.com/community/help-to-solve-code-challenge-also-please-explain-the-logic-and-thanks-in-advance . You can often find answers in the forum where people have put some real effort into explaining a solution.
