Where am I going wrong

Can you also please help me write out the hasTile method? It should return true if the hand has the tile, and false if it doesn't. Thanks!

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
         mHand += tile;
        // Adds the tile to the hand of the player

    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       if(indexof(mHand) == 1){
         return true;
       }else
       {
       return false;
       }
    }
}

The method hasTile() should return true not just if indexOf() returns 1, but if it returns and number that is greater or equal to 0.
