Mark M.	hello, Jan!
Mark M.	how can I help you today?
Jan	Greetings from Southern Moravia (Czech Republic)
Jan	View paste `I'd like to discuss one issue with layout in my project. When I enclosed <fragment> with <FrameLayout>, my layout changed the wrong way. Now, FrameLayout expands to the top and AppBar overlays it, so top most objects are hidden under the AppBar.`
Mark M.	why did you wrap <fragment> in <FrameLayout>?
Jan	well, I wanted to use fragments
Jan	the idea is to set one acttivity as main screen
Jan	and then replace fragments as needed
Jan	and that FrameLayer should be container
Mark M.	replacing fragments is a good reason to have a FrameLayout, but then you would not use a static fragment (<fragment>)
Mark M.	you would load all fragments dynamically, using FragmentTransaction
Jan	so this means that I cannot use static declaration and then replacing it later via code?
Mark M.	I don't think that's reliable
Jan	ok, I'll redo it, thanks!

Mark M.	I do not know if that will address your original problem (overlapping content), though it might
Jan	If not then I'll attend a new session later :)
Mark M.	you might also use Android Studio's Layout Inspector, or uiautomatorviewer, to get a sense for why you are getting the overlapping behavior
Jan	ok, thanks, bye
Jan	has left the room
