MenuItem setVisible(false) do not work in Android

Question

I put my MenuItem in onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) and set visible false but there is no change.

public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  MenuItem mi = menu.findItem(R.id.example);
  mi.setVisible(false);
  return true;
}

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  getMenuInflater().inflater(R.menu.main_menu, menu);
  // ...
}

There are no exceptions or syntax errors.

The problem might be that you're not calling `super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);` See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4199753/how-can-i-alter-a-menuitem-on-the-options-menu-on-android — Daniel Nugent, Jun 02 '17 at 00:13
@DanielNugent I just added "super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu)" but it still does not work. — AvaJ, Jun 02 '17 at 00:21
