I'm new to Android and I'm making an alarm clock for practice. I have my MainActivity which shows a digital clock like this -

The add sign in the top right corner opens a new fragment to be able to set a new alarm but the problem is that the white digital clock text (shown in the first image) is peaking through into my fragment. I have tried to follow other suggestions that I've found on here such as setting the background to white on the fragment and also setting statelistanimator to @null but nothing has changed it. Here is the image(the overlap is on the text)-

Here is the XML for the fragment. (I have included only the parts that I believe are relevant, but i could be wrong).

 <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 

  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:background="@android:color/white"

        android:clickable="true"

        android:focusable="true"

        tools:context=".SetAlarmFragment">





<TextView

    android:id="@+id/textView9"

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:layout_marginStart="8dp"

    android:layout_marginTop="24dp"

    android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"

    android:text="Choose a time"

    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.501"

    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"

    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView2" />

and here is the activity XML.

    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 

        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"

        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"

        tools:context=".MainActivity">



        <FrameLayout

            android:id="@+id/fragmentLayout"

            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="match_parent">



        </FrameLayout>



        <TextClock

            android:id="@+id/textClock"

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:layout_height="56dp"

            android:layout_marginStart="8dp"

            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"

            android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"

            android:fontFamily="@font/digital"

            android:textAlignment="center"

            android:textColor="@color/design_default_color_background"

            android:textSize="50sp"

            android:textStyle="bold"

            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

            app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.502"

            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"

            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/completeAlarmSetUp"

            tools:text="12:30:01" />

Any help would be appreciated as well as any documentation that I can follow.

Thanks

Try to move your <TextClock> declaration in your activity.xml above FrameLayout. So Hierarchy will be [ConstraintLayout{TextClock , FrameLayout}], You don't have to change constraints, just move FrameLayout at the end.
