I tried android:visibility="gone" and android:visibility="invisible". I also tried android:enabled="false". It will only disable the menu item, but I need to completely hide it (so it should not even show the space allocated for that item).

What changes can I make to the XML so that a menu item can be hidden?

  • What does it mean, if you are writing an item that is `invisible`? there is no space, no action, no nothing – Paresh P. Aug 28 '17 at 05:52

    Specifically, [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/39324927). The correct attribute setting is `android:visible="false"`. – Mike M. Aug 28 '17 at 06:01

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_settings"
    **android:visible="false"**
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="@string/action_settings"
    app:showAsAction="never" />

This worked for me.
