For the particular condition you want to hide menus, you can manually call invalidateOptionsMenu(); in your activity class and in your onPrepareOptionsMenu method setVisible(false); for all the menu items you have.

For example

public void someMethod(){
    if (<somecondition>){
       invalidateOptionsMenu();
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    if (<somecondition>){
      menu.findItem(R.id.action_one).setVisible(false);
      menu.findItem(R.id.action_two).setVisible(false);
      menu.findItem(R.id.action_three).setVisible(false);
    }else{
      menu.findItem(R.id.action_one).setVisible(true);
      menu.findItem(R.id.action_two).setVisible(true);
      menu.findItem(R.id.action_three).setVisible(true);
    }
}

When you want it to be visible again, again call invalidateOptionsMenu(); and make sure the condition inside onPrepareOptionsMenu method gets false so that else part is executed.
