Add a counter variable that gets incremented everytime the loop which pops up the "guess" dialog runs.

I have modified your code by simply adding 3 lines to do jus that.

import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Project {
    public static void main(String []args) {
        String hula="";
        String again="";

        int ulit;
        int hinula;

        do {
            Random rand = new Random();
            int num = rand.nextInt(100);
            int cycles = 0;

            do {
                cycles++;
                hula = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter your hula " );
                hinula = Integer.parseInt(hula);

                if (hinula>num)
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Lower!");
                else if (hinula < num)
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Higher!");
            } while (hinula !=num);
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Congrats! It took you " + cycles + " tries to win!");
            again = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Do you want to play again?Press 1 for Yes and any number for No");
            ulit = Integer.parseInt(again);
        } while (ulit==1);
    System.exit(0);
    }
}

Check it out, compile it and see how it works. If not what you wanted, at least you'll have the idea now to fix it so it works how you want it to work!
