Hide MenuItem in some Fragments

Question

I using menu drawer which has more `Fragment`s. In some `Fragment`s I have menu item REFRESH but in some fragments I want hide this menu item (I don't want show menu but I don't want hide `ActionBar`). I try add override `onCreateOptionsMenu()` to `Fragment` where I don't want show this menu item but I can not get it to work. I try many way see commented line in code. Does any idea where is problem? And last this menu item go to hide when I activate menu drawer when is called `onPrepareOptionsMenu()` in MainActivity but I need do this when I'm in `Fragment`. `Fragment` where I want hide menu item REFRESH: ``` public class FindPeopleFragment extends Fragment { public FindPeopleFragment(){} @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_find_people, container, false); //setHasOptionsMenu(false); return rootView; } private Menu menu=null; @Override public void onCreateOptions…

Accepted Answer

In the `Fragment` where you don't want to show any menu options, you need `setHasOptionsMenu(false);` in the `onCreate()`, like this:

```
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setHasOptionsMenu(false);
}
```

However, the menu that is being shown that you would like to hide (REFRESH), belongs to MainActivity. That is why it is always shown. Since you want to control the menu at the `Fragment` level (and not show an `Activity` options menu), my suggestion is to delete the menu code from the `Activity` and implement it in your `Fragment`.

`Activity`s and `Fragment`s can each have their own separate menus. See this link.
