Can you use:

mInviteMenuItem.setVisible(false);
...
mInviteMenuItem.setVisible(true);

As it is inside an if statement which is driven by a Boolean, you may be able to streamline this.

mInviteMenuItem.setVisible(mGridView.getCheckedItemCount() > 0)

Just a thought - and rather assumes my initial code works!!

No i tried. My visibility condition was working. if(mGridView.getCheckedItemCount() > 0){ mInviteMenuItem.setVisibility(0); worked. But else din't work. Possibly a bug ?
