Solved event not removing item from hand...

hello, this event does everything its supposed to except removing the item from the players hand, any ideas?

Code:

public void takei(Player p){
        p.getItemInHand().setType(Material.AIR);
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void invC(InventoryClickEvent e) {
        Player p = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
        if (e.getInventory().getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Use This Item?")) {
            ItemMeta cm = e.getCurrentItem().getItemMeta();
            if (cm.getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase(ChatColor.GREEN + "Yes!")) {
                p.sendMessage("ss");
                getConfig().set(p.getName() + ".WaterBreathing", true);
                saveConfig();
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "Water Breathing Aquired!");
                p.closeInventory();
                takei(p);
                e.setCancelled(true);
            }
            if (cm.getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase(ChatColor.RED + "No!")) {
                p.sendMessage("s");
                e.setCancelled(true);
                p.closeInventory();
            }
        }
    }

nvm fixed it, i had to change it to

Code:

p.setItemInHand(null);

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts

 

You can do: player.getItemInHand().setType(Material.AIR);
