Java - How do i make a string read and count amounts in another string ( -

i'm having trouble activating counter++. far s2 able read s1, cannot count amount of occurrences. appreciated. (i realize working in wrong string, helps me create solution here first , send second string, poor logic?)

sorry dumb question new @ programming

//i need scanner reads write scanner should count occurrences of char scanner declared scanner ask " write something" string s. = nextline etc new scanner asks letter string s1 = next line blb input = int count = stringutils.countmatches(s1); system.out.print(amount ) //

public class task07 {      public static void main(string[] args) {          scanner s1 = new scanner(system.in);         system.out.println("write something");         string text = s1.nextline(); //reads user input value          scanner s2 = new scanner(system.in);  // missing smth limits length of s2           system.out.println("geb letter");         string letter = s2.nextline();         int counter = 0;         boolean found;         found = text.contains(letter);         if (found == true) {             counter++;         } else {              system.out.println(counter);         }     // use counter 6 here need way tell counter          // should add +1 every time occurs in          // other scanner          /*             problems: text recognizer boolean              - doesnt activate counter              - doesnt activate counter based on x times occurence                        - doesnt limit "letter" 1 char             -            */     }  } 

basically loop simple way count character occurrences in string. use like

int counter = 0; (int = 0; < text.length(); i++) {     if (text.charat(i) == letter.charat(0)) {         counter++;     } }
