How to dynamically hide a menu item in BottomNavigationView?

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

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