you can hide or show menu item in OnCreateOptionsMenu on behalf of some flags

like when user select any item then set flag true for that item and call 

invalidateOptionsMenu()

after this you can change visibility

 MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_Done);

if (flag/condition)) {
  item.setVisible(false); 
} else { }
