incompatible types: char cannot be converted to CharSequence

how to fix that?

ScrabblePlayer.java 
public class ScrabblePlayer {
  // A String representing all of the tiles that this player has
  private String tiles;

  public ScrabblePlayer() {
    tiles = "";
  }

  public String getTiles() {
    return tiles;
  }

  public void addTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Add the tile to tiles
    this.tiles+=tile;

  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
    if(tiles.toLowerCase().contains(tile)){
      return true;}
    return false;
  }

}

Try using indexOf instead of contains. Contains requires a String (AKA CharSequence), but you have a char.

Let me know if that doesn't do the trick for ya ;)
