Remove Action Button From Action Bar

Issue

I have implemented ActionBar Navigation using Fragment. In my App i have one Activity and rest is in Fragments. In my MainActivity i am implementing menu like this.

@Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

Two Fragments uses Navigation Drawer and in their respected fragments i am inflating menu buttons to sort items.

@Override
    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
        super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.sort_button_shops, menu);
    }

Now the Problem is if i open the Fragment 1 it works perfectly. When i open fragment 2, it shows 2 button to sort, one from Fragment 1 and the second one from Fragment 2.

I have tried to hide the button but it didn't worked. Any Help will be Appreciated. Thanks

Solution

When you inflate a new menu you are adding new items to the old Menu object, which is probably not what you intended.

Try this:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    menu.removeItem(R.id.your_menu_item);
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
