You can use the parameter for setting condition to hide the field or not.

The one way is to set parameter with help of JasperReports API.

The sample code for setting parameter and building report:

Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<String, Object>();
parameters.put("isFieldHidden", true);

JasperFillManager.fillReportToFile(report, parameters, connection);

The snippet of the report template (jrxml file):

<parameter name="isFieldHidden" class="java.lang.Boolean"/>
...
<textField>
    <reportElement x="100" y="0" width="100" height="20">
        <printWhenExpression><![CDATA[!$P{isFieldHidden}]]></printWhenExpression>
    </reportElement>
    <textElement/>
    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{city}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
