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
  tiles += tile;

  }

  public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
    // TODO: Determine if user has the tile passed in
     boolean tilex; 
    if (tilex) {
      tiles.indexOf(tile) != -1;
     }
    return true;

Use

return tiles.indexOf(tile) >= 0;

instead of the if statment. It automatically returns truen when tile is a part of tiles thanks to the indexOf() methode:) And you don´t need that boolean variable tilex^^
