Android fragment getting hidden under the action bar

Got a weird problem. Contents of the fragment getting hidden under the action bar. Its a pretty basic drawer layout and a fragment.

enter image description here

New to android and don't know if this is how it is. I used margin just to pull this down, as you can see below. But this doesn't sound correct to me... please throw some light where am I going wrong. Thanks in Advance.

Setting top margin of the fragment's layout to height of AcionBar worked, at last!!

android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"

Don't know if this is a better solution but for me this is the only working solution.

Another possible solution for many who see this question is to change the parent layout of the toolbar to LinearLayout (likely with a vertical orientation), as this type of layout does not allow its children to overlap.

For example, this layout in activity_main.xml will result in the fragment being below the toolbar, rather than behind it:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout
        android:id="@+id/app_bar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
    </com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout>

    <FrameLayout
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity">

        <androidx.fragment.app.FragmentContainerView
            android:id="@+id/nav_host_fragment"
            android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:defaultNavHost="true"
            app:navGraph="@navigation/nav_graph"/>
    </FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Add an attribute app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" to your parent view of your fragment.

It is the normal and expected behaviour if you set FEATURE_ACTION_BAR_OVERLAY (android:windowActionBarOverlay) . Here the documentation
