I want to hide a menu item of BottomNavigationView dynamically based on some conditions. I tried the following but it is not working.

mBottomNavigationView.getMenu()
            .findItem(R.id.item_name)
            .setVisible(false);

mBottomNavigationView.invalidate();

Answer

mBottomNavigationView.getMenu().removeItem(R.id.item_name);

removeItem does the trick. Not sure why setVisible method is not working.
