Hide a Navigation Drawer Menu Item - Android

Question

I have a navigation drawer. When an event is called, I want to hide one of my navigation menu item for user. How can I do that?

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.sliding_menu);

    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
        StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
    }
    mTitle = mDrawerTitle = getTitle();

    // load slide menu items
    navMenuTitles = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.nav_drawer_items);

    // nav drawer icons from resources
    navMenuIcons = getResources()
            .obtainTypedArray(R.array.nav_drawer_icons);

    mDrawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout1);
    mDrawerList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_slidermenu1);

    navDrawerItems = new ArrayList<NavDrawerItem>();

    // adding nav drawer items to array
    // Home
    navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[0], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(0, -1)));
    // Profil
    navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[1], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(1, -1)));
    // Prospek
    navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[2], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(2, -1)));
    // Announcement
    navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[3], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(3, -1), true,
            cariTotal("http://192.168.0.23/api/android/announcement/").toString()));
    // Logout
    navDrawerItems.add(new NavDrawerItem(navMenuTitles[4], navMenuIcons.getResourceId(4, -1)));

    // Recycle the typed array
    navMenuIcons.recycle();
    //set event
    mDrawerList.setOnItemClickListener(new SlideMenuClickListener());
    // setting the nav drawer list adapter
    adapter = new NavDrawerListAdapter(getApplicationContext(),
            navDrawerItems);
    mDrawerList.setAdapter(adapter);
    // enabling action bar app icon and behaving it as toggle button
    getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

    mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
            R.string.app_name,
            R.string.app_name
    ){
        public void onDrawerClosed(View view) {
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mTitle);
            // calling onPrepareOptionsMenu() to show action bar icons
            invalidateOptionsMenu();
        }

        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle(mDrawerTitle);
            //mDrawerList.bringToFront();
            //mDrawerLayout.requestLayout();
            // calling onPrepareOptionsMenu() to hide action bar icons
            invalidateOptionsMenu();
        }
    };
    mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        // on first time display view for first nav item
        displayView(0);
    }
}
private void displayView(int position) {
    // update the main content by replacing fragments
    android.app.Fragment fragment = null;
    switch (position) {

            break;
        case 4:
            Logout();
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

    if (fragment != null) {
        android.app.FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
        fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.container, fragment).commit();

        // update selected item and title, then close the drawer
        mDrawerList.setItemChecked(position, true);
        mDrawerList.setSelection(position);
        setTitle(navMenuTitles[position]);
        mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(mDrawerList);

Answer 1

NavigationView navigationView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    hideItem();
  }


private void hideItem()
   {
     navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
     Menu nav_Menu = navigationView.getMenu();
     nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.nav_settings).setVisible(false);
   }

Code works.But how to make it "gone" instead of "invisible" – Filling

@Kakumanusivakrishna : Look at Desmond Yao's answer. It's actually remove it from list instead make it "gone". But that's the only path to take – Vaccinate

@Kakumanusivakrishna .setVisible(false) will keep item in gone only – Wringer

Answer 2

This will work as setInvisibility(GONE):

 Menu nav_Menu = navigationView.getMenu();
 nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.nav_profile).setVisible(false);
 nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.menu_login).setVisible(true);
 nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.menu_logout).setVisible(false);
 nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.menu_regsitration).setVisible(true);

Answer 4

You can delete the second item of listview via following code:

navDrawerItems.remove(2);
((BaseAdapter)adapter).notifyDataSetChanged();

Meng

That's the third item – Sawn

Answer 5

NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);

Menu menu =navigationView.getMenu();

MenuItem target = menu.findItem(R.id.nav_target);

target.setVisible(false);

Hide/Show Navigation item

Make changes in your NavDrawerListAdapter as follow,

public class MyListAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    Context context;
    ArrayList<ItemListModel> listMenuItem;
    ArrayList<ItemListModel> listMenuItem1;
    int hideViewIndex = -1;

    public MyListAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<ItemListModel> listMenuItem) {
        this.context = context;
        this.listMenuItem = listMenuItem;
        listMenuItem1=new ArrayList<ItemListModel>(listMenuItem);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return listMenuItem.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return listMenuItem.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    private class ViewHolder
    {
        private ImageView imgLogo;
        private TextView txtItemName;
    }

    public void hideView(int pos)
    {
        listMenuItem.remove(pos);
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    public void showView(int pos)
    {
        listMenuItem.add(pos, listMenuItem1.get(pos));
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

    @SuppressLint("InflateParams")
    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        ViewHolder viewHolder = null;
        if(convertView == null)
        {
            LayoutInflater myLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            convertView = myLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_item_list, null);
            viewHolder = new ViewHolder();
            viewHolder.imgLogo = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.imgLogo);
            viewHolder.txtItemName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtItemName);
            convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
        }
        else
        {
            viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
        }
        ItemListModel itemListModel = listMenuItem.get(position);
        viewHolder.imgLogo.setImageDrawable(itemListModel.getImageLogo());
        viewHolder.txtItemName.setText(itemListModel.getStrItemName());

        return convertView;
    }

and call this method in activity as follow,

adapter.hideView(2);
//adapter.showView(2);

    //hide logout menu item when the user is not loggrd in
    //Checking the condition whether the user is logged in or not

    if (!SharedPrefManager.getmInstance(this).isLoggedIn()){
        Menu nav_Menu = navigationView.getMenu();
    nav_Menu.findItem(R.id.nav_logout).setVisible(false);
    }


 //SharedPrefManager .java class where we define the isLoggedIn Method()

import android.content.Context;

public class SharedPrefManager {

private static final String SHARED_PREF_NAME = "my_shared_pref";

Answer 10

If we need to hide the menu item permanently (not temporary and programmatically), we can hide it in the XML view, in the menu.xml file by adding line android:visible="false":

    <item
    android:id="@+id/action_create"
    android:title="@string/menu_action_create"
    android:visible="false" />
