Hi Kiran, Please find the code snippet below. The function of interest is "updateVisibleMenuItems". Based on certain condition it tries to enable/disable one menuitem or other. In future there may be more menuitems and the conditions may get complex, but this in essence reflects what I am trying to implement.
As you can see, I have tried both the approaches: 1. Trying to change the XML structure 2. Get an individual menuItem and set its enable/visible property to false.
