Answer 1

Try this:

navView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.your_menu_item_id).setVisible(true);
navView.getMenu().findItem(R.id.your_menu_item_id).setVisible(false);

Answer 2

In Kotlin you can use this line of code:

 mainActivitbinding.bottomNav.menu.removeItem(R.id.watch_list_tab)

Answer 3

I tried most of solutions but this worked for me,

For hiding an item dynamically : bottomNavigationView.findViewById(R.id.xyz).setVisibility(View.GONE);

For making item visible: bottomNavigationView.findViewById(R.id.xyz).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
