How to remove MenuItems from Menu programmatically?

Question

I'm developing some Android application, and I've got some code for menu: ``` ``` I use "showAsAction" in order to show this items on Action Bar. Also I've got 3 tabs for navigation. But there is the following task: remove (or set visibility as false) this items from Action bar when tab with 0 positions is selected. But I don't understand how I can do it: ``` public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) { mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition()); if (tab.getPosition()==0) { //some code } } ```

Accepted Answer

Try just not show them using:

```
@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
    menu.findItem(R.id.menuItemToLeft).setVisible(true);
    menu.findItem(R.id.menuItemToRight).setVisible(false);
    return true;
}
//true or false depending on your requirements
```

or to delete:

```
menu.removeItem(x); //where x is the number of the menu item from 0,1,...
```

You may then need to create the MenuItem again using menu.Add()
