Description

There are few functions for hide NavBarButton ,but any one doesn't work. 
var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
	systemButton: Ti.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.TRASH
});

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
	title: "Just window",
    rightNavButton: button
});
 
var navGroup = Ti.UI.iPhone.createNavigationGroup({
    window: win
});
 
var mainWin = Ti.UI.createWindow();
mainWin.add(navGroup);
mainWin.open();

// === === ===
button.hide();
button.visible = false;
win.rightNavButton.visible = false;
win.rightNavButton.hide();

    You actually need to set the value of the [rightNavButton property](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Window-method-setRightNavButton) not to change the view to show in the [right nav bar](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Window-property-rightNavButton) area. Simple sample demonstrates the issue: 
       var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
       systemButton: Ti.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.TRASH
   });
    
   var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
       title: "Just window",
       rightNavButton: button
   });
     
   var navGroup = Ti.UI.iPhone.createNavigationGroup({
       window: win
   });
     
   var mainWin = Ti.UI.createWindow();
   mainWin.add(navGroup);
   mainWin.open();
    
   // === === ===
   //button.hide();
   //button.visible = false;
   //win.rightNavButton.visible = false;
   //win.rightNavButton.hide();
   setTimeout(function(){
   	win.setRightNavButton(null);	
   }, 3000);

    Yes I know about it. But if I want to show button than I have to make something like this: 
       var button = rightNavButton;
   // HIDE
   win.setRightNavButton(null);
   
   //SHOW
   win.rightNavButton = button;
    I think that is better to fix problem showed above... Thanks

    Then can you please state why the following logic wouldn't work for your app? https://github.com/appcelerator/KitchenSink/blob/master/Resources/ui/handheld/ios/baseui/window_navbar.js#L198

    It does work and I am already using something like this. Problem is that I want to hide/show button ,but if I want to make this first I have to make this, this and this. There is property/function so why doesn't work? This is absolutely terrible. Milion of bugs, optimization, workaround... I didn't see worse source code like code in my app. Please make life of developer easier and fix this issue. Thank you ;)

    [~egomez] The proposed workaround maybe 'fine' for classic Titanium, but if you use Alloy this requires you to either have the button as a second or next top-level element or to have it there as a starter and remove it later. Agreeing with [~sko] that this is a terrible way to work. I suggest getting it fixed ;)

    Resolving ticket as Invalid as there is now a new version of Kitchen Sink available and we no longer support the version which relates to this ticket.

    How does that fix the issue of showing/hiding a navigation button in Alloy? I'm using 6.1.0GA and still cannot call the .hide() method on a navigation button to hide it.

    [~rtrueman] Hi Rob, please could you open a new ticket on this?
