Solved item won't remove?

Hey guys i have tried in many ways to remove the item in hand and this is my code now:

Code:

                                if (event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getAmount() <= 1) {
                                    event.getPlayer().getInventory().setItemInHand(null);
                                    event.getPlayer().sendMessage("1");
                                } else {
                                    event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().setAmount(event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getAmount() - 1);
                                    event.getPlayer().sendMessage("2");
                                }

i have tried removeItem(iteminhand) and many more things and it just won't work (i only get the number 1 in the chat so that's not the problem.) I hope you guys can help me ?

 

event.getPlayer().updateInventory();
is required(And use .removeItem()).

i now have this but it still won't work. (It removes it till there's 1 item left and my item has a lore i don't know if that's a problem?)

Code:

    if (event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getAmount() <= 1) {
                                    event.getPlayer().getInventory().removeItem(event.getPlayer().getItemInHand());
                                    event.getPlayer().updateInventory();
                                } else {
                                    event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().setAmount(event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getAmount() - 1);
                                }

Oh and when i clear the inventory everything (except armor) is removed but not the item in my hand.

fixed it! added a bukkitrunnable with a delay of 1 tick and then removed the item
