PlayerPickupItemEvent event.getPlayer().getItemInHand() problem

Code:java

    // TODO FIX THIS. THIS ISN'T WORKING ATM....
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerPickupItem(PlayerPickupItemEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        /*
         * TODO getItemInHand() returns item held before player picks the item
         * up. For example, let's say I have nothing on hand, then I pick up a
         * sword. I now have a sword in hand, but getItemInhand() will return
         * Air. I want it to return sword.
         */
        if (player.getItemInHand().getItemMeta() != null
                || player.getItemInHand() != null) { ....

Any help?

 

Because the event is fired before the iteminhand is set to the sword, i would schedule a task a few seconds later

 

Use event.getItem().getItemStack() instead.
